THE IMPACT OF ORGANIC FERTILIZERS ON NITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONS AND CLIMATE CHANGE: A REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Tóm tắt

Organic fertilizers have a significant impact on climate change by influencing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural systems. Current studies indicate that organic fertilizers, including compost, livestock manure, and biofertilizers, have the potential to reduce nitrous oxide emissions compared to chemical fertilizers. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of organic fertilizers on nitrous oxide emissions and offers recommendations for effective practices. We analyze studies on the combination of organic fertilizers with irrigation practices to mitigate nitrous oxide emissions in semi-arid climates, focusing on factors such as fertilizer type, soil temperature and moisture, and irrigation methods during cultivation. The paper also examines the effects of organic fertilizers on soil properties, such as soil structure and water retention capacity. Through this review, we highlight both the benefits and limitations of organic fertilizers and propose strategies to optimize their use in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change.
