Patent number: 7892312Abstract: A nitrification inhibitor and a soil improver and a fertilizer containing the same are offered which can be utilized in a wide area from a tropical to a temperate zone, and can be easily obtained from natural origin materials. It is a nitrification inhibitor to inhibit soil nitrification, containing as a main component either one of linoleic acid, ?-linolenic acid, ?-linolenic acid, and methyl linoleate, or their mixture of two or more. By incorporating this nitrification inhibitor into a soil improver or a fertilizer, nitrification of soil can be effectively inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Japan International Research Center for Agricultural SciencesInventors: Guntur V. Subbarao, Kazuhiko Nakahara, Takayuki Ishikawa, Osamu Ito, Hiroshi Ono, Mayumi Kameyama, Mitsuru Yoshida, Marco Rondon, Idupulapati Madhusudana Rao, Carlos Lascano, Manabu Ishitani
