    Abstract

    Nitrification inhibitors are chemical ents that inhibit or rather retard nitrification in soil or microbial culture by a sort of family planning among the nitrifying bacteria. Nitrification is referred to as the biological oxidation of ammonium to nitrate via nitrite, effected respectively by Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter species of the nitrifying bacteria. Nitrification is important for the conversion of ammonium formed from urea and other organic materials and compounds applied to the soil, to nitrate. The nitrate formed is the source of nitrogen (N) nutrition of plants under arable cropping.
