Ammonia volatilisation from urea fertiliser applied to pasture is dependent on several factors including climate, soil parameters and N application rate. There are several urease inhibitors available that can be added to urea fertiliser to slow down the conversion of urea to ammonium, such as N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), which can result in a reduction of ammonia volatilisation losses. This report summarises the comparative ammonia losses from some NBPT-containing fertilisers.
