The business case for nitrification inhibitors

Fertiliser is one of the largest variable input costs in Australian cropping, yet a significant proportion of applied nitrogen can be lost before crops can use it. In this podcast, Stefan Vogel and Farm Inputs Analyst Oskar Mitchell discuss how nitrification inhibitors can improve nitrogen-use efficiency by reducing nitrogen losses from leaching, denitrification, and emissions. Drawing on Australian and international research, they explore where these products deliver the greatest value, the conditions that drive performance, and why a targeted approach can help growers improve both profitability and environmental outcomes.
