Abstract:Urea is the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide. However, ammonia volatilization, resulting from applying urea to the soil surface, causes economic and environmental losses; thus, urease inhibitors have been developed to mitigate these losses. In this work, the anti-ureolytic activity of Schiff’s base 4-(3-hydroxybenzylideneamino) phenol (3B4) and its amine-derived (3B4a) was evaluated. The most promising urease inhibitor in soil was 3B4 (55.0 ± 3.9% inhibition), with comparable results to N-(butyl)… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
