Reduction of Nitrogen Fertilizer Requirements and Nitrous Oxide Emissions Using Legume Cover Crops in a No-Tillage Sorghum Production System

Reduction of Nitrogen Fertilizer Requirements and Nitrous Oxide Emissions Using Legume Cover Crops in a No-Tillage Sorghum Production System

Nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) emission from denitrification in agricultural soils often increases with nitrogen (N) fertilizer and soil nitrate (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>) concentrations. Our hypothesis is that legume cover crops can improve efficiency of N fert...
