Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The effect of the addition of thiosulfate on the turnover of inorganic N compounds was tested in an Egyptian and German arable soil under nitrifying and denitrifying conditions. In both cases, the thiosulfate decreased with time while tetrathionate accumulated to an intermediate extent: both under aerobic nad anaerobic conditions the thiosulfate was degraded in the soils, forming tetrathionate as an intermediate, which was also finally depleted. Both compounds disappeared completely after <25 days.

The results demonstrated that the nitrification of NH4+ and NO2- was inhibited by increasing concentrations of thiosulfate and/or tetrathionate without involving the formation of volatile S compounds as potential nitrification inhibitors. Denitrification was not affected by the addition of thiosulfate.
