Managing Nitrogen for Greenhouse Gases Mitigation in Tropical Agriculture

Managing Nitrogen for Greenhouse Gases Mitigation in Tropical Agriculture: Agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gases (GHGs) released into the atmosphere and accounts for 23% of the total GHGs produced globally by anthropogenic activities (IPCC, 2019). The mitigation of GHGs from agriculture is one of the potential strategies to minimize the impact of climate change. An effort has been conducted to escalate nitrogen use efficiency by additional substrates in nitrogen fertilizer, e.g., the use of organic material, nitrification inhibitors, and slow release with technologies of coating to increase food production through an optimized fertilizer utilization rate to reduce negative environmental impact of N2O losses to atmosphere and NO3- leaching particularly from tropical agriculture of Indonesia.
