Nitrogen is deficient in most soils and is applied in the greatest quantities of all nutrients.
Given its high potential for loss, efficient fertilizer N management has both economic and …

Executive summary Urea constitutes about 82% of the fertilizer nitrogen (N) used in India.
Nitrification inhibitors when applied along with urea reduce losses of applied N thereby …

An accurate assessment of nitrate leaching is important for efficient fertiliser utilisation and

The current agricultural system faces several challenges, the most important being the ability
to feed the increasing world population and mitigate climate change. In this context, the …

The study was focused on identification of potentially effective and environmentally feasible
nitrification inhibitors for cauliflower in order to minimize the losses of applied N fertilizers …

Wheat-rice cropping system in South Asia has taken a toll on the natural resources of air,
water, and soil as this proves to be labor, water, capital, and energy intensive and becomes …

An appropriate nitrogen (N) management strategy is required for minimizing the yield loss
incurred in aerobic direct-seeded rice (ADR) due to moisture stress. Field experiments for …

The comprehensive impacts of different nitrogen management and crop establishment on
greenhouse (GHG) fluxes are not well documented. GHG emissions from rice paddies under …

Two independent experiments were conducted to assess neem oil coated urea (NOCU), as
a natural nitrification inhibitor and to improve nitrogen use efficiency in maize. In first …

While lettuce offers essential human nutrients, it also contains anti-nutrients, particularly
nitrate (NO3−). The use of neem leaf extract as a natural nitrification inhibitor has proven …
