This report analyzes the costs and benefits of managing nitrogen fertilizer in ways that also reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cereal production (rice, wheat, and maize) in India and Mexico. The purpose of this work is to inform finance needed for low emissions agricultural development. For eac...

Benefits and costs of nitrogen fertilizer management for climate change mitigation: Focus on India and Mexico.
This report provides an overview of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting process for national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories with particular focus on the methodology used for estimating direct nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from mineral fertiliser. Example...

This paper looks at the applicability of three management oriented simulation models that are being evaluated by the environmental Sciences Division at ILCA. Basically the three models (CERES-maize NITROSIM and SCUAF) have been designed to simulate crop growth and development and crop yields, as ...
