Nitrous oxide – the focus of research

At the Professorship of “ Agronomy & Organic Farming” the role of nitrous oxide in agriculture as well as possible detection and reduction measures have been researched in various projects for years. The aim of the research is to find out how farmers can make their N fertilization more efficient, save greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time secure their yields - for example by using inhibitors. The research projects are therefore of great importance for the development of sustainable and climate-resilient crop production systems.
