Article Synopsis
- Experiments investigated how stable and effective the urease inhibitor NBPT is when mixed with different phosphorus fertilizers and under various storage and field conditions.
- Results indicated that mixing UNBPT with P-sources diminished its effectiveness, with a 53.7% reduction in concentration noted when combined with phosphates.
- Additionally, urease activity and ammonia emissions were significantly reduced (by 50-62%) with different inhibition technologies in the field, highlighting the importance of proper storage time to maintain inhibitor efficiency (maximum of 168 hours).
