Pesticides constitute an integral part of modern agriculture. However, there are still concerns
about their effects on non-target organisms. To address this the European Commission has …

Nitrification is a key microbial process in the nitrogen (N) cycle that converts ammonia to
nitrate. Excessive nitrification, typically occurring in agroecosystems, has negative …

Nitrogen management measures (NMMs) such as the application of urease inhibitors (UIs),
synthetic nitrification inhibitors (SNIs), and biochar (BC) are commonly used in mitigating …

Nitrogen (N) fertilization is crucial to sustain global food security, but fertilizer N production is
energy-demanding and subsequent environmental N losses contribute to biodiversity loss …

New technologies for the production of peat-substitutes are required to meet the rising
demand for growing media in horticulture and the need to preserve natural peatlands …

Biobased fertilizers recovered from animal manure are sustainable substitutes for synthetic
mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers, showing high potential to minimize environmental pollution …

Abstract The impact of DMPP (3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate), applied at two doses (low:
recommended for agronomic use; high:> 100× the recommended), on the function, diversity …

Nitrate is a major source of N nutrition for plant production, but it is prone to loss from an
arable soil via leaching and denitrification. Chemicals that inhibit biological NO 3 …

Dicyandiamide (DCD) and nitrapyrin (NP) are nitrification inhibitors (NIs) used in agriculture
for over 40 years. Recently, ethoxyquin (EQ) was proposed as a novel potential NI, acting …

The use of biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) holds a great potential to effectively reduce
nitrogen losses from agroecosystems and conforms with the current move toward ecological …
