Nitrous oxide emissions from soils are strongly linked to rainfall and soil moisture levels. Higher emissions were observed from canola plots that received urea fertilizer compared to chickpea plots. Emission factors for N2O were around 0.3-0.8% of applied nitrogen for canola and 0.3% for chickpea. Including more pulse crops in rotations has the potential to reduce N2O emissions from broadacre farming by decreasing fertilizer use and increasing nitrogen use efficiency.
