Agronomic efficiency of NBPT as a urease inhibitor: A review.

TLDR
Part of the urea is incorporated into the soil before hydrolysis; the NH3 produced inside the soil is retained by the negative charges of colloidal material and losses are reduced even if no rain or irrigation incorporates urea into the soils.

Nitrification and urease inhibitors improve rice nitrogen uptake and prevent denitrification in alkaline paddy soil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the influence of three nitrification inhibitors, namely dicyandiamide (DCD), NP and NBPT, on rice growth, the fate of urea nitrogen (N), and the abundances and activities of ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers.

Nitrogen sources and application rates affect emissions of N2O and NH3 in sugarcane

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of two N sources (UR: urea and CAN: calcium ammonium nitrate) in three N rates (30, 60, and 90 kg N/N/1 in the plant cane cycle and 60, 120, and 180 ǫ n/n/n 1 in ratoons) on a sugarcane field grown on a Red Latosol soil in southeastern Brazil was studied.

Nitrogen cycles: past, present, and future

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the natural and anthropogenic controls on the conversion of unreactive N2 to more reactive forms of nitrogen (Nr) and found that human activities increasingly dominate the N budget at the global and at most regional scales, and the terrestrial and open ocean N budgets are essentially dis-connected.

Ammonia in the atmosphere: a review on emission sources, atmospheric chemistry and deposition on terrestrial bodies.

TL;DR: This review article integrates the knowledge available on atmospheric NH3 from the literature in a systematic manner, describes the environmental implications of unabated NH3 emissions and provides a scientific basis for developing effective control strategies for NH3.

Scope and Strategies for Regulation of Nitrification in Agricultural Systems—Challenges and Opportunities

TL;DR: In this article, Nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is defined as the dry matter produced per unit N applied and strive for improvements in agronomic yields through N recovery, which is a conservative function in most biological systems.

Chapter 8 Recent Developments of Fertilizer Production and Use to Improve Nutrient Efficiency and Minimize Environmental Impacts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide information on some recent developments of fertilizer production and use that improve nutrient efficiency and minimize environmental impact, mainly N, P, and S. The use of these nonconventional fertilizers may result in an increased relative economic benefit with respect to the use of conventional fertilizers in terms of saving fertilizer cost, enhancing nutrient efficiency, or increasing crop yield.
