“…Dicyandiamide (DCD) has been proven to be effective in reducing nitrification rates (Cookson and Cornforth,4) and nitrate leaching (Williamson et al,13). Previous studies demonstrated that the nitrification inhibitor (NI) dicyandiamide (DCD) added to ammonium sulphate nitrate (ASN) improved the N-fertilizer efficiency and reduced NO 3 leaching in young and mature citrus trees (Serna et al,10,11). In addition to synthetic nitrification inhibitors, natural products from the neem (Azardirachta indica Juss) are reported to have nitrification inhibiting properties and widely used in under field conditions.…”

“…The majority of this N is in excess of sward requirements and is often lost by nitrate (NO 3 − ) leaching through the soil profile or nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, particularly over winter when grass growth rates are low. Nitrification inhibitors are being investigated in many countries as a strategy to mitigate NO 3 − leaching, denitrification and N 2 O emissions under urine patches (Serna et al, 1995). They therefore have the potential to increase N availability in the soil for grass growth, thereby increasing the N use efficiency of grazed swards, as well as reducing N losses to the environment (O'Connell et al, 2004).…”

“…It is a white crystalline nitrogenous powder naturally broken down in the soil, with no traces of residue remaining beyond the cropping year (Amberger, 1989). Dicyandiamide slows the conversion of ammonium (NH 4 + ) to NO 3 − in the soil by interfering with the cytochrome oxidase in the respiratory electron transport system of Nitrosomonas bacteria, which are responsible for the first step of the nitrification process (Serna et al, 1995). Reductions in NO 3 − leaching and N 2 O emissions following the application of DCD have been reported by many authors including Moir et al (2007) and Dennis et al (2008).…”
