Abstract
The overall objective of the EU funded project was to evaluate the ability of ammonium thiosulphate (ATS) to act as an inhibitor of urease and nitrification processes and as a source of plant nutrient S when added to solid and liquid fertilisers and to slurries. These initial experiments have shown the need for further research on (a) applying ATS directly to the soil rather than to the herbage surface, and (b) adding ATS to the slurry in the storage tank simultaneously with slurry excretion.
