Abstract

The nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD), is a promising technology for reducing N losses from grazed pastures. However, insights as to its best usage are still required. Modelling offers a cost-effective way to determine best practice for DCD, synthesising the available knowledge. The APSIM model, with a newly developed module for nitrification inhibition, was used to investigate the role of DCD on N leaching.
