Nitrogen Variable Rate Technology
Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that plays a significant role in global warming and climate change. Agriculture is the main source of nitrous oxide emissions, due to the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Nitrogen Variable Rate Technology or NVRT is a promising fertilization method that applies nitrogen fertilizer only where and in the amount the crop actually needs. By avoiding fertilizer overuse, NVRT could help reduce nitrous oxide emissions from farming. However, it is not yet fully understood how much NVRT can reduce nitrous oxide emissions.
