How can denitrification of soil be reduced?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Denitrification occurs when there is insufficient oxygen in the soil. By keeping the soil well aerated, the oxygen levels will increase and denitrification will be reduced. Adding lime or potash will not necessarily address the issue of oxygen availability in the soil. Adding ammonia may actually increase the levels of nitrogen available for denitrification. Flooding the soil with water may also contribute to denitrification as it can create anaerobic conditions.
