A paradigm shift towards low-nitrifying systems: The role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) by Subbaraoa, Guntur V., Sahrawat, Kanwar Lal, Nakahara, K., Rao, Idupulapati M., Ishitani, Manabu, Hash, C.T., Kishi, M., Bonnett, D., Berry, W., Lata, Jean-Christophe

“…The ability to suppress soil nitrification by the release of nitrification inhibitors from plant roots is termed ‘biological nitrification inhibition’ (BNI), an active plant-mediated natural function that can limit the amount of N cycling via the nitrification pathway. …”

Nitrogen management in grasslands and forage-based production systems – Role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) by Subbaraoa, Guntur V., Rao, Idupulapati M., Nakahara, K., Ando, Yasuo, Sahrawat, Kanwar Lal, Tsefamarium T, Lata, Jean-Christophe, Boudsocq, S., Miles, John W., Ishitani, Manabu, Peters, Michael

“…Certain plants can suppress soil nitrification by releasing inhibitors from roots, a phenomenon termed ‘biological nitrification inhibition’ (BNI). Recent methodological developments (e.g. bioluminescence assay to detect BNIs from plant-root systems) led to significant advances in our ability to quantify and characterize BNI function in pasture grasses. …”
