“…This concern has stimulated research to find compounds that will effectively inhibit nitrification of fertilizer N when applied to soils in conjunction with N fertilizers. Numerous compounds have been patented or proposed for this purpose (Bundy and Bremner, 1973;McCarty & Bremner, 1989;McCarty, 1999;Puttanna et al, 1999Puttanna et al, , 2001a. Efficient N management techniques such as the use of nitrification inhibitors may help conserve N fertilizers in situations where leaching or denitrification is a problem.…”

“…Efficient N management techniques such as the use of nitrification inhibitors may help conserve N fertilizers in situations where leaching or denitrification is a problem. McCarty and Bremner (1989) first reported that benzotriazole was a nitrification inhibitor while Puttanna et al (1999Puttanna et al ( , 2001a have evaluated its effectiveness under tropical conditions and demonstrated its efficacy in a field study. Puttanna et al proposed that benzotriazoles might be good candidates for agricultural use because they have been in use for many years in other applications.…”

The common corrosion inhibitor, 1H-benzotriazole (Bz), found as a component of glycol-based aircraft deicers, and its derivatives, such as 5-chloro-1H-benzotriazole (CBz), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBz), and 5-methyl-1H-benzotriazole (MBz), are all potential nitrification inhibitors (McCarty and Bremner, 1989). The inhibitory effect of benzotriazoles on the nitrification of urea-N fertilizer in agricultural soils was examined over a four-week period. At 10 mg/kg, all compounds tested, except HBz, have the ability to inhibit the nitrification of urea-N fertilizer effectively. Their inhibitory capabilities depend on the structural components of the soil, particularly organic matter (O.M.). In the soil with the largest percent of O.M. (2.3%), inhibition by all the benzotriazole derivatives was considerably decreased. In the soil with least O.M. (0.3%), even HBz, the poorest of the inhibitors, showed signs of inhibition. For Bz, MBz, and CBz in the range of 90%, inhibition was observed in the soil with the lowest O.M. content during a four-week treatment period. On a mass basis Bz had the greatest inhibitory effect followed by MBz and CBz, whereas HBz showed little inhibition of the nitrification of urea-N in soils with >0.5% O.M. On a molar concentration basis, there would be little variation in inhibitory potency for MBz, CBz, and Bz. It was concluded that all three are effective nitrification inhibitors with urea-N fertilizer. Incorporation of benzotriazoles as inhibitors could help economize N fertilizers by helping prevent nitrate leaching and denitrification. However, the environmental fate of these compounds has not been determined, and they are toxic to plants and other organisms at higher concentrations (10-100 mg/L). Inhibition of nitrification is undesirable when high levels of ammonia are to be removed by combined nitrification and denitrification, as occurs in some sewage treatment processes.

Background Nitrification inhibitors (NI) may be used to inhibit nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agricultural soils, but their efficacy could be strongly affected by soil temperature and moisture. Aims This study investigated how different NI behave in a sandy soil under variable temperature and moisture levels, which currently remains unclear. Methods Efficacies of four NI [dicyandiamide (DCD), 3,4‐dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), nitrogenous mineral fertilizers containing the DMPP ammonium stabilizer (ENTEC) and active ingredients: 3.00–3.25% 1,2,4‐triazole and 1.50–1.65% 3‐methylpyrazole (PIADIN)] were investigated in an incubation experiment under two soil temperatures (15 and 25°C) and two moisture levels [60% and 80% water‐holding capacity (WH)] for 60 days in a sandy soil. The soil received 0.5 g NH4+‐N kg−1 soil and the inhibitors were applied at 5% of applied N. Total N2O emissions were calculated based on gas samples collected throughout the incubation period. Results Increasing soil temperature from 15 to 25°C decreased N2O emissions by 73–191% while increasing soil moisture from 60% to 80% WHC caused a 109–251% increase in the emissions. ENTEC followed by DCD were the least effective inhibitors to reduce N2O emissions under all temperature and moisture combinations. Depending upon temperature and soil moisture, DMPP and PIADIN inhibited 85–100% of N2O emissions. At 15°C, both DMPP and PIADIN almost completely inhibited N2O emissions. At 25°C, the efficacy of PIADIN decreased to 88%, while that of DMPP ranged from 86% to 98%. Increased soil moisture content improved the efficacy of all the NI. Conclusions Overall, DMPP and PIADIN were more effective than DCD in a sandy soil under both the soil moisture levels and temperatures. DMPP was the most effective inhibitor, completely inhibiting N2O emissions at 15–25°C and up to 80% WHC in this soil, and is therefore recommended for use in agricultural lands. The concentration of the NI contained in ENTEC was insufficient to affect nitrification at the both soil moisture levels and temperatures.
