Modern agricultural systems in the tropics are characterized by low resource use efficiency, low productivity and demand large extensions of land. To tackle this scenario, improved pastures have enormous potential to contribute towards a sustainable livestock model, of high productivity and envir...

Nitrification, a key process in the global nitrogen cycle that
generates nitrate through microbial activity, may enhance losses
of fertilizer nitrogen by leaching and denitrification. Certain
plants can suppress soil-nitrification by releasing inhibitors from
roots, a phenomenon termed biological...

Evidence for biological nitrification inhibition in Brachiaria pastures
High nitrogen (N) concentration in bovine urine, which generally exceeds plant N uptake rates, results in the formation of hotspots of N loss when bovine urine is deposited on grazed pasture soils. High spatial variability in the distribution of urine patches in grazed pastures poses a major chal...
Accelerated soil-nitrifier activity and rapid nitrification are the cause of declining nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) and enhanced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from farming. Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is the ability of certain plant roots to suppress soil-nitrifier activity through...

Genetic mitigation strategies to tackle agricultural GHG emissions: The case for biological nitrification inhibition technology
Climate change science has been discussed and synthesized by the world's best minds at unprecedented scales. Now that the Kyoto Protocol may become a reality, it is time to be realistic about the likelihood of success of mitigation activities. Pastoral lands in the tropics hold tremendous sequest...

Crop residues as driver for N2O emissions from a sandy loam soil
Nitrification, a step in nitrogen (N) cycle, results in gaseous N emissions and NO3- leaching. In most natural ecosystems, where nitrification is reduced to a minor flux, do not leak N. In contrast, modern agricultural systems are characterized by unrestricted rapid nitrification, resulting in th...
