Relationship between fertilzers, plant growth and N2O

  • Play the video for an overview of the need to use fertilizers in agriculture and best management practices (BMPs) to mitigate the adverse effects of fertilizer use on global warming.

Watch the following video that briefly explains how fertilizers affect plant growth and how a GHG N2O is released to the atmosphere due to soil bacterial action on N fertilizers. Best management practices (BMPs) to mitigate these adverse effects of fertilizer use are also introduced here.
