Brazilian researcher given award for improving GHG emissions of sugarcane production

In Brazil, the director of the Center for Research and Development of Soils and Environmental Resources at the Agronomic Institute of Campinas has been awarded the Norman Borlaug Award on World Fertilizer Day by the International Fertilizers Association for developing a method of sugarcane cultivation that reduces GHG emissions. The method integrates urease inhibitors that prevent the transformation of urea into carbon dioxide and nitrification inhibitors that prevent the transformation of nitrous oxide and other gases from ammonia.
