A research teamreveals how integrating manure with synthetic nitrogen fertilizers can significantly reduce agricultural nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions without lowering crop productivity.

Corn requires a lot of nitrogen, approximately 1.2 pounds of it for every bushel of corn produced. That means that a 200-bushels-per-acre harvest will require 240 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Most of ...

While agriculture producers apply nitrogen fertilizer to supply nutrients to their crops, they can’t always keep those nutrients in the soil for maximum efficiency, often losing them into the ...

In collaboration with professors at the University, researchers are working on a new breed of corn that reduces nitrogen loss. Connor Sible, research assistant professor in ACES, discussed his team’s ...
