A major portion of this reactive N applied as fertilizer leaks into the environment in massive amounts, with cascading negative effects on ecosystem health and function. Natural ecosystems utilize many of the multiple pathways in the N cycle to regulate N flow. In contrast, the massive amounts of N currently applied to agricultural systems cycle primarily through the nitrification pathway, a single inefficient route that channels much of this reactive N into the environment. This is largely due to the rapid nitrifying soil environment of present-day agricultural systems... date: 2013 date_type: published publication: Annals of Botany volume: 112 number: 2 publisher: Oxford University Press pagerange: 297-316 refereed: TRUE issn: 0305-7364 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcs230 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=A+paradigm+shift+towards+low-nitrifying+production+systems%3A+the+role+of+biological+nitrification+inhibition+%28BNI%29&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&a related_url_type: pub funders: Government of Japan- Ministry of Foreign Affairs funders: Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences funders: Government of Colombia-Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development funders: Government of Germany-Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation citation: Subbarao, G V and Sahrawat, K L and Nakahara, K and Rao, I M and Ishitani, M and Hash, C T and Kishii, M and Bonnett, D G and Berry, W L and Lata, J C (2013) A paradigm shift towards low-nitrifying production systems: the role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI).
