Urea is the main nitrogen (N) fertilizer used worldwide, but N losses in the form of ammonia (NH3) is a major problem when this fertilizer is topdressed over crop residues. The treatment of urea with N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) decreases the activity of urease enzyme and volatilizatio...
