flag Manganese in soil cuts nitrogen pollution and nitrous oxide emissions, study finds.

flag A University of Connecticut study finds adding manganese to soil can reduce nitrogen pollution, lowering harmful nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate leaching. flag In lab tests, manganese reduced N2O emissions by up to 42% and decreased plant-available nitrogen, with effects linked to reduced activity of the amoA gene. flag While promising, optimal application rates need further study, and field trials are ongoing to confirm results in real-world farming conditions.
