Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) activity in sorghum and its characterization

Sadie S

The ability to suppress soil nitrification through the release of nitrification inhibitors from plant roots is termed ‘biological nitrification inhibition’ (BNI). This study quantified and characterized the BNI function in sorghum that includes inhibitor production, their chemical identity, functionality and factors regulating their release.
