The inhibiting effect of C2H2 on nitrification was investigated in 2 agricultural soils. Nitrification was totally inhibited at 10 Pa partial pressure of C2H2 which is lower than previously reported for soils. There were no differences in rates of nitrate production between flasks without C2H2 and flasks with C2H2 at 0.01 Pa, while there was an effect on nitrification at 0.1 Pa C2H2. At 0.1 Pa no inhibition was noted during the first 3 days; after this period nitrification was partially inhibited. The inhibiting effect did not cease until 7 days after removal of C2H2. The sensitivity of nitrification to low concentrations of C2H2 should be noted when denitrification rates are determined by the use of the acetylene inhibition method (usually C2H2 at 10 kPa).
