Abstract: Chemical stabilizers play a crucial role in prolonging enzyme inhibition in soil-plant systems, offering significant potential for optimizing agricultural practices and enhancing plant nutrition management. This review examines the mechanisms and applications of chemical stabilizers in controlling soil enzyme activity, particularly focusing on urease inhibition and its implications for nitrogen management in agricultural systems. The effectiveness of various chemical compounds, including synthetic inhibitors and natural plant extracts, in modulating enzyme activity is analyzed through their impact on soil biochemical processes and nutrient availability. The research demonstrates that chemical stabilizers can effectively extend the duration of enzyme inhibition, leading to improved nitrogen use efficiency and reduced environmental losses. Furthermore, the integration of chemical stabilizers with sustainable agricultural practices shows promise for maintaining soil health while optimizing crop productivity. The findings reveal that coordination polymers and hydroxamic acid derivatives exhibit particularly strong inhibitory effects on urease activity, providing extended control over nitrogen transformation processes. This comprehensive analysis highlights the potential of chemical stabilizers as essential tools for modern precision agriculture, contributing to enhanced food security and environmental sustainability through improved nutrient management strategies.
