[[File:Global Nitrous Oxide Budget 2020.png|thumb|Global nitrous oxide budget.]]Nitrous oxide emission comes from the increased use of synthetic and organic fertilizers. [[Fertilizer]]s increase crop yield production and allow the crops to grow at a faster rate. Agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide make up 6% of the United States' greenhouse gas emissions; they have increased in concentration by 30% since 1980. While 6% may appear to be a small contribution, nitrous oxide is 300 times more effective at trapping heat per pound than carbon dioxide and has a residence time of around 120 years. Different management practices such as conserving water through [[drip irrigation]], monitoring soil nutrients to avoid overfertilization, and using [[cover crop]]s in place of fertilizer application may help in reducing nitrous oxide emissions.</div>FuzzyBot
