Did you know? In 2012, USAID provided a research grant to quantify the amount of nitrous oxide and nitric oxide released from the soil during rice production. IFDC researchers and technicians developed mechanical GHG measuring chambers that were first extensively tested under greenhouse conditions. The research was conducted at IFDC Headquarters, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), and the Bangladesh Agricultural University and demonstrated that Fertilizer Deep Placement (FDP) decreased emissions to levels similar to unfertilized plots.
