Climate-smart ag strategies may cut nitrous oxide emissions from corn production | Penn State University
Using dairy manure and legume cover crops in crop rotations can reduce the need for inputs of inorganic nitrogen fertilizer for corn, thereby protecting water quality, but these practices also can contribute to emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. That’s the conclusion of Penn State researchers, who measured nitrous oxide emissions from the corn phases of two crop rotations.

Denitrification is the major nitrous acid production pathway in boreal agricultural soils
Microbial processes, particularly denitrification, are more important in driving nitrous acid production and emissions in aerobic soils than abiotic processes, according to 15N tracer and isotope pool dilution experiments in boreal agricultural soils.

Humus compost manure system gets carbon into the soil, cuts fertilizer use | The Mitchell Republic
Olsen Custom Farms of Hendricks, Minn., has constructed a 14-acre site for making “humus compost” from the farm’s 3,500-head confinement beef custom feedlot near Toronto, S.D. The idea is to improve crop yields yields while replacing synthetic fertilizers, all while reducing a carbon footprint. The company believes it will be smart to get ahead of federal policies that likely will influence farm nutrient practices.
