N-(n-Butyl)thiophosphoric Triamide (NBPT) (Cat No.:R020621) is a potent urease inhibitor used primarily in agricultural settings to enhance nitrogen use efficiency in fertilizers. By inhibiting the enzyme urease, NBPT slows the conversion of urea to ammonia, reducing nitrogen loss through volatilization and increasing the availability of nitrogen for plant uptake. This results in more efficient fertilizer use, improved crop yields, and reduced environmental impact due to lower ammonia emissions. NBPT is commonly applied to urea-based fertilizers and is crucial for sustainable agriculture, particularly in regions with high nitrogen loss rates.
