Abstract Manure management is a significant source of ammonia emissions in the EU. Ammonia can damage sensitive habitats, pose risk to human health and reduce crop available nitrogen supply from organic materials manufactured fertilizers. Total ammoniacal‐nitrogen liquid consists both un‐ionized gas ammonium solution which are at an equilibrium that pH temperature dependant. At <6 proportion very low, acidification recognized as technique for reducing materials. Air plasma treatment, fixes air using strong electric current, lowers around 5.5, 7–8 untreated A series seven replicated field experiments were used compare effects treated on emissions, yield use efficiency following application winter wheat. Results showed 28%–83% lower than similar mineral nitrate same experiments. The increased fertilizer value (compared with materials) by 45%. reduced requirement purchased applications meet optimum demand.
