1. Agronomic Management of Nitrogen to Reduce N2O Emissions in Manitoba

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil accounts for about 20% of Manitoba’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  Numerous and recent field research has evaluated these emissions as influenced by nitrogen (N) management practices – such as use of enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs), fertilizer placement and timing, use of legume and  cover crops and organic farming. Several practices result in considerable decreases in N2O emissions, across a wide... J. Heard, M. Tenuta
