TLDR
In this article, the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) may reduce the loss of N as ammonia (NH3) from surface-applied urea fertilizer.
Abstract
Loss of N as ammonia (NH3) from surface-applied urea fertilizer may be high if hydrolysis takes place at the soil surface. The urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) may reduce...

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.
