#NewBog Effective #nitrogenmanagement in #agriculture depends on visibility. But once nitrogen is applied in the field, tracking how it moves and where losses occur becomes difficult. @EarthDailyA is a partner in the EU’s @NitroScopeEU project, working to improve how nitrogen

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a long-lived #greenhousegas that stays in the atmosphere for over a century and contributes to warming. Over a 100-year period, each kg of N₂O warms ~270× more than a kg of CO₂. 🔗 https://t.co/z35BBvLCed

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Not all soils behave the same. Sandy, clayey, and organic soils handle nitrogen differently. One reason why #NitroScope tests across diverse #Pedoclimaticzones with shared protocols. 🔗Visit our website for more info: https://t.co/z35BBvMa3L #SoilHealth

Different soils, same rigor. By testing across diverse soil, climate zones with shared protocols, NitroScope turns local results into insights that travel, so lessons from one field can guide many. 🔗Visit our website for more info: https://t.co/z35BBvMa3L #NutrientManagement

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? When heavy rain follows fertilization, nitrate (NO₃⁻), which is highly mobile, can slip past the root zone and into drains or groundwater. That’s lost yield potential, lost money, and pressure on water quality. 🔗 https://t.co/z35BBvLCed #SoilMission

𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 #𝗡𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲! 🌱 Thank you to our partners, farmers and supporters for a strong start. We’re pausing to recharge and will be back in the new year with field stories, data, and practical guidance for smarter nitrogen decisions.

We are happy to support this survey from the WHEATWATCHER project, our "sister" project, which aims to collect stakeholder insights on wheat production, food safety, and traceability across Europe. Your input will help shape tools for safer, healthier, and more transparent.

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Only 30–50% of applied #nitrogen is typically taken up by crops. The rest escapes to water and air. #NitroScope turns measurements into decisions so more N reaches the plant. 🔗Visit our website for more info: https://t.co/z35BBvLCed #NutrientManagement

Prof. Abdul Mouazen (Ghent University), coordinator of the #WHEATWATCHER and @NitroScopeEU projects, is attending the EU Agri-Food Days in #Brussels, a flagship European Commission event shaping the future of agriculture and food systems in Europe.

From leaching to emissions, every kilo saved matters. We translate evidence into small, timely actions, when to apply, when to hold, and how to adapt, so farmers reduce N losses without guesswork. 🔗Visit our website for more info: https://t.co/z35BBvMa3L #NutrientManagement
