Brazil is a major sugarcane producer and its production more than doubled over the last
decades to meet global bioenergy demands for reducing crude oil dependency and …

Urea is the most widely used nitrogen (N) fertilizer, with a projected increase in annual
demand of 1.5% in the coming years. After its application to soil, urea undergoes hydrolysis …

Reduction of CO2 emissions will require a transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy
sources. Expansion of Brazilian sugarcane ethanol, provides one near-term scalable …

Estimation of soil total nitrogen (STN) is important for quantifying the spatial distribution of
soil N (Nitrogen) stocks, determining the amount absorbed by crops and avoiding yield …

Sugarcane production relies on the application of large amounts of nitrogen (N) fertilizer.
However, application of N in excess of crop needs can lead to loss of N to the environment …

This study presents a literature review of the main advances that took place in the last 10
years in the agricultural production of sugarcane in Brazil, which can effectively result in …

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by substituting fossil fuels depends on how
biofuels are produced and how emissions are calculated. Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions …

Best management practices for N fertilization should increase yields while reducing negative
environmental effects such as losses by ammonia (NH 3) volatilization and emission of …
