Nitrous oxide

Nitrous oxide research aims to improve our ability to measure nitrous oxide emissions from soils and develop our understanding of the processes by which direct and indirect nitrous oxide is produced. The abatement research primarily focuses on strategies that farmers can adopt now to reduce nitrogen loss while improving nitrogen use efficiency and productivity.
