General description

2-Chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine is a chlorinatedheterocyclic compound that belongs to the pyridine family and serves as anactive ingredient found in commercially available nitrogen stabilizers. Iteffectively delays the conversion of ammonium (NH⁺) to nitrate (NO⁻). Thisprocess enhances nitrogen retention and improves nitrogen use efficiency,ultimately leading to increased crop yields.

Application

  • Biological and chemical nitrification inhibitors exhibited different effects on soil gross N nitrification rate and N(2)O production: a (15)N microcosm study.: This study examines the effects of biological and chemical nitrification inhibitors, including 2-Chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine, on soil nitrogen processes. The findings highlight the differential impacts on soil nitrogen dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions (Lan et al., 2023).
  • Nitrous oxide emissions from manured soils as a function of various nitrification inhibitor rates and soil moisture contents.: This paper explores the relationship between nitrification inhibitor application rates, including 2-Chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine, and soil moisture on nitrous oxide emissions, providing insights into optimizing inhibitor use for environmental benefits (Lin and Hernandez-Ramirez, 2020).
  • Nitrate losses in subsurface drainage from a corn-soybean rotation as affected by fall and spring application of nitrogen and nitrapyrin.: Investigating the seasonal application of nitrapyrin, a derivative of 2-Chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine, this study assesses its efficacy in reducing nitrate leaching and improving nitrogen use efficiency in agricultural systems (Randall and Vetsch, 2005).
  • Oxidation of Nitrapyrin to 6-Chloropicolinic Acid by the Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea.: This foundational research elucidates the microbial degradation pathway of nitrapyrin, contributing to our understanding of its environmental fate and persistence (Vannelli and Hooper, 1992).
