METHOD FOR TREATING SOIL WITH PHENYLTRICHLOROBUTANEDIOL DERIVATIVES TO SUPPRESS THE NITRIFICATION OF AMMONIUM NITROGEN THEREIN

摘要

Soil nitrogen is conserved and plant nutrition improved by treating plant growth media with certain phenyl substituted butane diols, or phenylbutyl carboxylic or sulfonic acids such as ethanesulfonic acid-4,4,4-trichloro-2-hydroxy-2-phenylbutyl ester.
