Okay.

I prefer the acronym.

Sure.

So NBPT, basically it's designed to look somewhat like urea.

So if we imagine urease as being like a glove and then the urea fits perfectly inside that glove,

If we can create something that matches that shape, then we can effectively block the active site of urease.

Yeah, so that's exactly what we're trying to do is to design a fertilizer that incorporates both of these technologies.

There's more research into which is most optimal because MBPT doesn't work super well in acidic soils, which is quite common in Australia or at higher temperature conditions.

But yeah, ultimately we're trying to have some sort of inhibitor and some sort of coating combined with the urea for that slow release.

In terms of the impact so far, adding MBPT to the soil has reduced ammonia emissions by 60 to 68%.

And in combination with another inhibitor, that was an even higher number.

Right, okay.

So that's sort of our first measure is, can we see that very first step where it's converted from urea to ammonium and then to ammonia, can we see that being slowed down?
