This book is a comprehensive and updated review of fundamental
studies on inhibition of soil urease activity and of 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 comprises a period of
nearly 40 years. The potential of food production to meet the
growing needs related to population increase is largely conditioned
by the efficiency of agricultural fertilizers. Urea has gradually
become the most important nitrogen fertilizer in world agriculture.
However, its efficiency is in general reduced due to excessive
activity of a soil enzyme, urease. One way to increase efficiency
of urea fertilizers is the inhibition of soil urease activity. In
the last four decades, multilateral investigations have been
carried out in a series of countries to identify and test
unpolluting and inexpensive chemical compounds to be used as
inhibitors of soil urease activity. These investigations are
reviewed, including those described in the patent literature.
The book is addressed to a broad audience, including experts and
students in agronomy, forestry, plant physiology, soil science
(especially soil biology and biochemistry), and other environmental
sciences, as well as in organic and inorganic chemistry.
