Used as a nitrification inhibitor in agriculture to enhance the efficiency of nitrogen-based fertilizers. It slows the conversion of ammonium to nitrate in soil, reducing nitrogen loss through leaching and denitrification. This improves nutrient availability to crops, increases yield, and lowers environmental impact by minimizing nitrate runoff and nitrous oxide emissions. Commonly formulated with urea or ammonium-based fertilizers for use in cereals, corn, and other field crops.
