Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)—A novel strategy to regulate nitrification in agricultural systems by Subbaraoa, Guntur V., Sahrawat, Kanwar Lal, Nakahara, K., Ishikawa, T., Kudo, N., Kishii, M., Rao, Idupulapati M., Hash, C.T., George, T.S., Rao, P.S., Nardi, P., Bonnett, D., Berry, W., Suenaga, K., Lata, Jean-Christophe

“…We present a conceptual framework utilizing a BNI-platform that integrates diverse crop science disciplines with ecological principles. Sustainable agriculture will require development of production systems that include new crop cultivars capable of controlling nitrification (i.e., high BNI-capacity) and improved agronomic practices to minimize leakage of reactive-N during the N-cycle, a critical requirement for increasing food production while avoiding environmental damage.…”
