A Corrigendum on Field efficacy of urease inhibitors for mitigation of ammonia emissions in agricultural field settings: a systematic review by Matse DT, Krol DJ, Richards KG, Danaher M, Cummins E, Wang X and Forrestal PJ (2024).

In the published article, there was an error in Table 2, as well as its caption “Regulatory minimum and maximum urease inhibitor levels mass of total N as set out by the EU” as published. Two of the urease inhibitors in the first column are switched. The urease inhibitor 2-NPT currently in row 2 should be in row 3 of Table 2 and the urease inhibitor NBPT + NPPT currently in row 3 should be in row 2 of Table 2.
Former EU Fertiliser Directive (EU 2003/2003) minimum and maximum urease inhibitor levels by mass of total N present as urea N.

The fully corrected Table 2, including the corrected caption “Former EU Fertiliser Directive (EU 2003/2003) minimum and maximum urease inhibitor levels by mass of total N present as urea N” appear below.
In the published article, there was an error. The statement about Table 2 was incomplete and in its current form it gives a different meaning than the intended meaning.
A correction has been made to Section 1: Introduction, Sub-section 1.3 Regulation of urease inhibitors in EU, Paragraph Number: 01. This sentence previously stated:
“The regulatory minimum-maximum augmentation of each of these three urease inhibitors based on total N is outlined in Table 2.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The former EU Fertiliser Directive (EU 2003/2003) minimum and maximum augmentation of each of these three urease inhibitors by mass of total N present as urea N is outlined in Table 2.”
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
