The basic aim of this study was to compare the denitrification efficacy of 2,5-dichloroaniline, Ammonium Thiosulphate and their combination (1:1) with previous studies. Ammonium Thiosulphate was not used as a nitrification inhibitor in previous research. Our findings depict that there was significant variation among the chemicals, soil and levels in denitrification for early seedling growth of wheat.

Ebook "Nutrient use efficiency in plants: Concepts and approaches" presents a broad overview of topics related to improvement of nutrient use efficiency of crops. Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is a measure of how well plants use the available mineral nutrients. It can be defined as yield (biomass) per unit input (fertilizer, nutrient content). NUE is a complex trait: it depends on the ability to take up the nutrients from the soil, but also on transport, storage, mobilization, usage within the plant, and even on the environment.
