Recently posted presentations:
Greenhouse gas emissions from crop production systems and fertilizer management effects
Presentation made at the 2008 NitroEurope IP- Open Science Conference. February 20 and 21, 2008. Het Pand, Ghent, Belgium
The Powerpoint slide set addresses the nitrous oxide emissions associated with agricultural fertilizer N use in perspective and includes speaker notes.
Nitrogen Contributions to the Greenhouse Gas Effect and Global Warming
Presentation made at the Florida Fertilizer and Agrichemical Association -Winter Business Meeting
In his presentation On January 10, Dr. Snyder emphasized the dominance of the transportation and manufacturing sectors on the emissions global warming gases in the U.S., and noted that agriculture in the U.S. represents a relatively small portion of the total U.S. carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions. He noted that within agriculture, nitrous oxide is the key gas of concern, and he identified the principle of fertilizer BMP implementation as a key means to minimize nitrous oxide emissions. He also illustrated the relative impacts of fertilizer N consumption in Florida on the total Florida greenhouse gas emissions.

New Nitrogen Fertilizer Products and Technologies
Presentations from the session, New N Fertilizer Products and Technologies, chaired by IPNI at the 2007 International Nitrogen Conference held in Costa do Sauipe, Brazil, October 01 - 04, 2007.
Four papers were presented at the IPNI chaired session New N Fertilizer Products and Technologies, part of the CT5 Papers (Contributed Talks) on The Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry and the Future at the 2007 International Nitrogen Conference.
Decision Making Tools for N Management in Corn and Wheat: A U.S. Perspective
Presentation given by Dr. Cliff Snyder to the AFCOME group (French Fertilizer Association), at their 10th International Meeting in La Rochelle, France, November 15-16, 2007.
The presentation by Nitrogen Program Director Dr. Cliff Snyder highlights recommendation guidelines and technologies employed in wheat and corn and recognized work by several scientists who participated in the InfoAg 2007 Conference in Springfield, Illinois...including Damien Lepoutre and H. Matthieu from France. IPNI scientists who contributed information or slides to the presentation included Dr. Fixen, Dr. Tom Bruulsema, Dr. Scott Murrell, and Dr. Steve Phillips. Dr. Snyder emphasized the need for farmer-friendly, field-calibrated and verified, and site-specific N recommendation guidance and decision support. He cited the recent IPNI nutrient use efficiency publication - Nutrient Use Efficiency and Effectiveness: Indices of Agronomic and Environmental Benefit- and a need for evaluation of nutrient use efficiency and effectiveness on each farm field. He championed fertilizer BMPs as the approach for achieving N efficiency and effectiveness with applied nutrients. This presentation provided great visibility for IPNI and offered the opportunity to acknowledge the support of member companies and affiliates. Several participants approached Dr. Snyder afterward to comment that they had not previously realized the broad support that IPNI received from world leaders in fertilizer production.
