1. Agronomic Management of Nitrogen to Reduce N2O Emissions in ManitobaNitrous 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 w... J. Heard, M. Tenuta |
2. Carbon Credit and Sequestration in Agroecosystems; Lessons from Trials in Southern IllinoisA carbon (C) credit is the attribution of net CO2-C equivalent which can be used to decrease climate forcing through a given practice or farming system for a given unit time. Carbon credits allow industries to purchase C that is produced on a farm (i.e., offsets). Carbon can be captured in two ways; (i) by capturing and reducing greenhouse gasses (on a CO2-C equivalent basis), and/or (ii) by increasing soil organic C stocks. Therefore, to enable C credits in the agricult... A. Sadeghpour, A.M. Weidhuner, G. Burkett, O. Zandvakili, O. Adeyemi, C. Kula, J. Berberich, J. Pike, A.J. Margenot |
3. Cover Crop Species and Planting Methods Influence on Corn N Requirement in Southern IllinoisIt is well established that planting cover crops prior to corn (Zea mays L.) can influence soil temperature, moisture, and nitrogen (N) dynamics. These changes in soil along with the effects of cover crop on corn plant population can influence corn grain yield and N requirement. Two strategies to facilitate corn establishment and avoid N immobilization especially in winter cereal cover crops is by mixing cover crop species or skipping the corn row (precision planting). A randomized c... A. Sadeghpour, C. Kula, G. Sener, C. Vick |
