“…These inconsistent effects may due to soil type, inhibitor source, application rate and application method of inhibitors (Bharati et al, 2000;Li et al, 2009). Therefore, given the uncertainty and discrepancy with regard to the urease and nitrification inhibitors effect on GHGs emissions across the agricultural soils, an overall accounting of net greenhouse gas balance (NGHGB) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) derived from soil CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O emissions is required when assessing urease and nitrification inhibitors effect on the climatic impact of coastal bioenergy production.…”

“…It is generally accepted that nitrification inhibitors have the following practical and environmental advantages for agriculture: reduce the risk for NO 3 À leaching, decrease N 2 O emission, yield increase and better N utilization by plants (Xu et al 2000b(Xu et al , 2002aZerulla et al 2001;Carreres et al 2003). Moreover, Bharati et al (2000) showed that nitrification inhibitors and especially DCD have the capacity to inhibit CH 4 production, as well. However, so far, only DCD, in Europe, and nitrapyrin, in the US (for a meta-evaluation see Wolt 2004), are of importance for practical use (Zerulla et al 2001).…”

“…Pathak et al (2003) observed, from a field experiment, that the application of DCD in combination with urea reduced the CH 4 emission from a rice-wheat system with 30%. Using small-scale soil incubations, Bharati et al (2000) compared six nitrification inhibitors and found that DCD had the second largest effect on reducing methane emissions. A reduction with 47% was found.…”

Agriculture contributes considerably to the emission of greenhouse gases, such as N 2 O and CH 4 . Here we summarize results from previous pot experiments assessing the effectiveness of urease and nitrification inhibitors reducing both N 2 O and CH 4 emissions from wheat and rice cropping systems fertilized with urea (U). For the wheat cropping system, using a cambisol, we observed that the application of U with hydroquinone (HQ, a urease inhibitor), U with dicyandiamide (DCD, a nitrification inhibitor) and U with HQ plus DCD decreased the N 2 O emissions by 11.4, 22.3 and 25.1%, respectively. For the rice copping system, using a luvisol, we found that the application of U with HQ, U with DCD and U with HQ plus DCD decreased N 2 O emissions by 10.6, 47.0 and 62.3%, respectively, and CH 4 emissions by 30.1, 53.1 and 58.3%, respectively. In terms of total global warming potential (GWP) a reduction of 61.2% could be realized via the combined addition of HQ and DCD. The addition of wheat straw reduced the activity of HQ and DCD in the rice cropping experiments. In terms of total GWP only a reduction of 30.7% could be achieved. In general, both in upland and flooded conditions, the application of HQ and DCD alone was less effective than HQ in combination with DCD, but not significantly for U plus DCD treatment. Our observations may be further constrained, however, by practical, economic or social problems and should therefore be tested at the scale of a region (e.g. a watershed) and related to an integrated abatement of agricultural N losses.

Nitrogen (N) is the most critical externally added input for any crop production system. The half of the global population directly or indirectly depends on nitrogenous fertilizers for food supply. Today, Rice, wheat, and maize are consuming more than 90% of total nitrogenous fertilizer used in cereals. Underuse of nitrogen is associated with lower crop production while overuse leads to several soil and environmental related consequences. Therefore, response to applied nitrogen and its use efficiency have to be monitored properly for obtaining the maximum potential and sustainable yield. Efficiency of applied nitrogenous fertilizers is very low due to its various losses i.e. volatilization, leaching, surface runoff and denitrification from soil-plant system. Therefore, the proper understanding of advanced soil and plant management practices which helps in enhancement of nitrogen recovery efficiency is one of the key factors to enhance crop output, decreasing cost of cultivation, and to maintain environmental quality which ultimately adds towards the goal of achieving long term sustainable production system. In this review, an attempt has been made summarize the locally as well as scientific soil and crop management technologies used for improving use efficiency of applied N. This paper also discusses nitrogen cycling in soil-plant systems, various N losses pathways, present status and most possible management options at the farm level for enhancing nitrogen use in crop production system.
