Evaluation of nitrification inhibitors for use under tropical conditions |
| |
| Abstract: | Abstract Six simple chemical compounds were evaluated for inhibition of nitrification. The compounds of o‐nitroaniline, m‐nitroaniline, o‐nitrophenol, benzotriazole, and 2,4,6‐trinitrophenol were compared with dicyandiamide by adding 10 μg inhibitor/g of a sandy loam soil, incubating for 30 days at 30°C and analyzing for NH+ 4, NO‐ 2, and NO‐ 3 formation. The results indicated that benzotriazole, o‐nitrophenol, and m‐nitroaniline were very effective nitrification inhibitors. |
