Fill CBOD bottle with CBOD dilution water and Nitrification Inhibitor.
2.
It is a nitrification inhibitor and prolongs the availability of nitrogen to both short duration and long duration crops.
3.
It is a widely used nitrification inhibitor in agriculture as well as a soil bactericide and has been in use since 1974.
4.
Since nitrapyrin is an effective nitrification inhibitor to the bacteria nitrosomonas it has been shown to drastically the reduce NO 2 emissions of soil.
5.
In addition, nitrification inhibitors have also been shown to suppress the oxidation of methane ( CH 4 ), a potent greenhouse gas, to CO 2.
6.
Add approximately 0.1 g of Nitrification Inhibitor ( 2-chloro-6-( trichloro-methyl ) pyridine ) to each 300mL CBOD bottle before adding CBOD dilution water.
7.
Seed CBOD Uptake : Typically a 10, 20, and 30 mL sample of seed added to 3 separate CBOD bottles with approximately 0.1 g Nitrification Inhibitor and diluted with CBOD dilution water.
8.
The environmental concerns of nitrification also contribute to interest in the use of nitrification inhibitors : the primary product, nitrate, leaches into groundwater, producing acute toxicity in multiple species of wildlife and contributing to the eutrophication of standing water.
