Using measuring chambers like those shown here, researchers found that nitrous oxide emissions peaked a few weeks after manure was applied and for a short period after fertilizer was applied. Identifying how to time organic nitrogen amendments with corn uptake represents an opportunity to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from dairy production systems, the researchers said.
