Nitrogen Oxide
nitrogen oxide: an oxide formed when nitrogen is oxidized, e.g., nitric oxide or nitrogen dioxide. Formula: NOx. Managing nitrogen oxide emissions is important for reducing air pollution and its associated health and environmental impacts. Farmers can benefit from adopting practices that minimize NOx emissions, such as optimizing fertilizer application, using nitrification inhibitors, and implementing conservation tillage. Reducing nitrogen oxide emissions supports environmental sustainability and enhances the farm’s reputation for responsible management.
