This article evaluates the efficacy of two commercial formulations of nitrapyrin, eNtrench and N‐Serve, at stabilizing soil N in the NH 4+ form and protecting against N loss when applied in the fall or spring with banded ammonia‐based fertilizers in non‐crop field trials conducted across the main cereal‐ and oilseed‐growing regions of Canada.
