Abstract

Abstract: Rice cropping system as an agriculture practices is considered as one of the major emission source of methane (CH4 ) and nitrous Oxide (N2 O). In agriculture, man-made activities contribute CH4 (77%) and N2 O (60%).This article reports on emission measurements from the Indo Gangetic plains (IGP) of India from four different treatment methods. Implementation of biogas spent slurry (BSS) method was most effective in reducing GHGs emissions. The findings should help in regulating and implementing management strategies regarding the reduction of GHGs from the agricultural fields and avoid environmental losses and claims.
