Can we cut nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture without reducing crop yields? That is the central question as we harvest winter wheat in SmartField.
A saying goes that ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ and in SmartField, we can relate.
New measurements from SmartField show that a significant share of nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils occurs outside the growing season.
The study focuses on tractor traffic lanes — the compacted strips created by machinery that are often overlooked when estimating greenhouse gas emissions.
Recently, a group from the SmartField team visited Sassari, Italy, to present our work at the XXIII Nitrogen Workshop.
In a new editorial, Diego Abalos, Klaus Butterbach-Bahl and Jørgen Eivind Olesen — who are part of SmartField — bring together insights from 13 studies.
Last week, we had the pleasure of inviting the farmers part of SmartField to a theme day.
