Despite nitrogen fertilizers has long been a critical component in agriculture it is associated with low nitrogen use efficiency. The low nitrogen use efficiency is attributed to various nitrogen losses such as ammonia volatilization, denitrification, leaching, and runoff. Among the various ways of nitrogen losses, ammonia Volatilization is a major nitrogen loss from agricultural soil. Large amount of volatilizing NH3 contributes to high N load in the environment. N loss due to ammonia volatilization depends upon several factors such as environmental condition, type of N fertilizers used, soil chemical properties, microbiological activity and soil types. The information on ammonia volatilization with respect to soil types are very rare. This review, therefore presents the volatilization losses from various soil including the effect of soil properties and climate and the methods to reduce it. This may be more helpful on fertilizer management and to reduce nitrate pollution in soil
