Potential phytotoxicity associated with the use of soil urease inhibitors

Recent work in our laboratory showed that the adverse effect of urea fertilizer on seed germination and seedling growth in soil is due to ammonia produced through hydrolysis of urea by soil urease (NH(2)CONH(2) + H(2)O → 2NH(3) + CO(2)) and can be eliminated by amending the fertilizer with a small a...
