To review historical and current research evaluating corn response to ammonium-nitrogen availability and the practical role of nitrification inhibitors.
Synthesized findings from agronomic and physiological studies examining corn response to ammonium versus nitrate nitrogen sources.
Assessed technological developments in nitrification inhibitors that stabilize ammonium levels against soil nitrification.
Corn frequently demonstrates superior growth when supplied with a mixture of ammonium and nitrate compared to nitrate alone.
The rapid biological nitrification of ammonium to nitrate in agricultural soils historically limited the practical delivery of ammonium.
Nitrification inhibitors successfully prolong ammonium availability in soils, enabling field-level benefits of mixed-nitrogen nutrition in corn.
