Urea emissions and how to reduce them

A quick summary of why urea represents part of my emissions and how I can address it.

1. Where do urea emissions come from?
   Urea releases nitrous oxide (N₂O) during soil microbial processes, particularly when conditions favour volatilisation and denitrification.
2. How can I reduce my urea emissions?
   
   • Use urease inhibitors to slow nitrogen conversion and reduce emissions.
   • Apply urea during cool, moist conditions to reduce volatilisation.
   • Rotate with legume crops to enhance natural nitrogen fixation.
