Improving Efficiency of Urea Fertilizers by Inhibition of Soil Urease Activity

Improving Efficiency of Urea Fertilizers by Inhibition of Soil Urease Activity by S. Kiss, M. Simihaian.

The purpose of our present work is to review the fundamental studies on inhibition of soil urease activity and the applied studies on improving efficiency of urea fertilizers by inhibition of soil urease activity. The general literature on these topics covers 65 years, and the patent literature comp...
