" Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI): A path towards low-nitrifying production systems"
Present nitrogen management in agriculture appears to have serious flaws, which is reflected in its poor NUE and massive nitrogen leakage into large environment. Most of these problems with nitrogen fertilization is associated with hyper-nitrifier-activity and rapid uncontrolled soil-nitrate formation. Regulation of soil nitrifier activity is thus critical to fix problems associated with nitrogen fertilization in agriculture. Our group’s work in JIRCAS is mostly focused on nitrification inhibitor production from plant root systems and to develop genetic and management strategies to regulate nitrification in production agriculture. The focus of this seminar thus is how to move towards low-nitrifying production systems that are biologically and economically sustainable, thus will form the foundation for the second Green Revolution, which needs to be cleaner and more productive than present systems.
