Precision nitrogen can benefit both farmers and the climate

By Georgine Yorgey Reprinted from: WSU CSANR Perspectives on Sustainability In a previous post, I explained that available evidence currently indicates nitrous oxide emissions may be fairly low in the inland Pacific Northwest, compared to other cropland agricultural systems in the U.S. and world. If ongoing research confirms these early results, then I suggested that […]

Making Farming “Climate Friendly”: What is the impact of nitrous oxide in our region?

By Georgine Yorgey Reprinted from: WSU CSANR Perspectives on Sustainability If you are interested in ensuring that farming is climate friendly you are likely to start thinking about nitrous oxide (N2O). Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas (298 times as powerful as carbon dioxide, over a 100-year time frame). And nitrous oxide from agricultural […]
