How much nitrogen can farmers really cut?
Manitoba fertilizer trials search for the sweet spot where farmers can cut nitrogen rates, with a nitrification inhibitor, without harm to yield
Urea stands tall, production-wise, against ‘alternative’ nitrogen fertilizers
N stabilizers did their job but offered little value to wheat yield, says project lead
A two-year Alberta project finds old-school granular urea is still the most effective nitrogen fertilizer source for spring wheat yield when compared to “alternative” forms of granular N, at least at the sites studied.
Cutting the nitrous oxide emissions without losing yields
Better nitrogen management promises to both protect crop yields and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer; new research looks to verify how much difference it actually makes
Better nitrogen management promises to both protect crop yields and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer. New research looks to verify how much difference it actually makes.
Project to take high-level look at ag emissions
A CBC tower will be used to monitor nitrous oxide on the Prairies
Glacier FarmMedia — A group of researchers, policy makers and producer organizations is repurposing part of a CBC transmission tower to get data on agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions. The tower at Yorkton, Sask., will be fitted with sensors to measure agricultural nitrous oxide emissions 100 metres above the ground. The group, dubbed CanN20net, held its […] Read more
Food companies launch partnership to cut dairy industry’s CO2 emissions
Food companies Ajinomoto and Danone unveiled on Thursday a partnership to reduce the dairy industry's greenhouse gas emissions using a feed additive called AjiPro®-L, which is purported to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from manure.
US targets nitrous oxide in new phase of climate strategy
The Biden administration on Tuesday announced it would seek to curb U.S. emissions of powerful industrial greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide as it enters a new phase in the national strategy to fight climate change under the Paris agreement.
