Abstract:There is a growing interest in controlling nitrification by using botanical nitrification inhibitors to enhance the nitrogen (N) fertilizer use efficiency. The main objective of this study was to develop a botanical formulation (BF) with Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon) and Pongamia pinnata (karanda) leaves to suppress the nitrification rate of two soils (Red Yellow Podzolic (RYP) and Reddish-Brown Earth (RBE)) commonly used for vegetable cultivation in Sri Lanka. A BF was prepared using dried and powdered leaves o… Show more
