Impact of urease inhibitor on greenhouse gas emissions and rice yield in a rainfed transplanting rice system in Costa Rica

Frontiers in Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 7

Published: Feb. 21, 2025

Rice crop production intensification has become one of the most important sources greenhouse gases. In rainfed rice production, urea is common nitrogen (N) fertilizer used in Costa Rica. Urea low efficiency crops, which associated with high risk N gaseous losses. The use coated urease inhibitor NBPT been identified as a mitigation strategy for ammonia However, this can increase input to system, potentially leading higher 2 O and CH 4 emissions fields. 2022, transplanting trial was conducted on tropical Inceptisol Rican Central Pacific region analyze yield quantify emissions. plots 6m x 6m, an experimental design five complete randomized blocks, were treated three N-fertilization treatments: (U; 144 kg ha −1 ), plus (UI; ) control (without N).

N-Doped Quantum Dots Promote Rice Germination and Enhance Its Drought Tolerance at Seedling Stage

Journal of soil science and plant nutrition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Dec. 13, 2024

Abstract The current study aimed to synthesize nitrogen-doped quantum dots (NQDs) and their effect on germination drought tolerance of two rice cultivars (Sakha Super 300 Sakha 108) at seedling stage. Microwave-assisted carbonization glucose in presence ammonia was followed obtain NQDs that were characterized by spectral analysis, FTIR, electron microscopy, zetametry, elemental analysis cytotocicty assessment. Grains the primed then rate growth parameters determined under control polyethylene glycol-induced drought. Also, grain priming membrane features, activity antioxidant enzymes, H 2 O content amount some responsive metabolites evaluated. formed possessed blue luminescence UV radiation with absorption peak 275 nm. These had plenty hydrophilic oxygen-containing groups various C–N bonds. an average size 9.4 nm, zeta potential -16.8 mV, O/C atomic ratio 52%, N/C 40%. proved be non-toxic four human cell lines. Grain enhanced ameliorated ill impact as well length, biomass, water content. reduced injury cellular membranes, content, activated catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase. Moreover, increased seedlings trehalose, proline, phenols, ascorbic acid. easily prepared, highly stable, safe-by-design can applied boost seedlings.

Policy and law: the case of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer

Environmental Research Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 6(5), P. 055016 - 055016

Published: April 23, 2024

Abstract Agriculture occupies more than a third of the world’s land with many, large-scale impacts on environment and human health. This article investigates failure policy to manage these impacts, asks whether private law can fill gap, what this means for policymakers. The investigation takes form case study synthetic nitrogen fertilizer (SNF) in English law. SNF industry has been chosen because, by its own account, it underpins modern food system, which is recognized as needing urgent transformation. first assesses damage caused health potential legal remedies. It then claims that (a) provides security, (b) beneficial soil water, (c) reduces greenhouse gas emissions. If misleading, representations could amount unlawful ‘greenwashing’. While never replace good regulation, concludes there evidence enable supplement policy, role made possible well necessary absence effective regulation enforcement. Private litigation catalyze policymakers implement robust regulatory regime agriculture demands. As must focus scientific causation, also help elucidate publicize science based. Finally, because strict constraints within operate, direct towards strategic interventions (or tipping points) systemic change.
