Usage

General Description

1-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-2,5-dimethyl-4-nitrosopiperazine, also known as DMPP, is a synthetic compound that has been used as an agricultural nitrification inhibitor to reduce nitrogen losses from fertilizers and increase crop yield. It is a yellow solid that is insoluble in water and has a molecular formula of C10H16N4O. DMPP works by inhibiting the activity of the bacteria that convert ammonium into nitrate in the soil, thereby reducing the loss of nitrogen through leaching and denitrification. It is important to handle DMPP with care and follow safety guidelines, as it is classified as a hazardous substance due to its potential for toxicity and environmental harm.
