Abstract

This study was conducted to provide low carbon farming technique for greenhouse gases(GHGs) emission reduction in agriculture sector. It reviewed literatures on the characteristic of cultivation technique and its effects on carbon emission reduction. The effects of GHGs emission reduction were evaluated in agricultural land with several farming practices. In the rice cultivation technique, the irrigation water management showed good effect on GHGs emission reduction in paddy field. It also evaluated reduction efficiency of source of nitrogen supply and soil improvement. The intermittent irrigation showed 25.1% carbon reduction efficiency as compared to continuously flooded treatment. Slow release fertilizer and ammonium sulphate decreased carbon emission by 19.8% and 7.9% compared to urea, respectively. With soil amendments treatment, silicate fertilizer and zeolite reduced carbon emission 14.1% and 21.7% compared to rice straw treatment. In the upland crop cultivation technique, the efficiency of tillage management, green manure, livestock compost and nitrification inhibitor application were estimated. Substitution of 50% of nitrogen with hairy vetch showed 65.6% carbon reduction efficiency. It also showed 20.4% emission reduction with nitrification inhibitor treatment. However, GHGs emission were increased with livestock compost application. It provided basic data for reducing the GHGs emission in agriculture sector by accomplishing low carbon farming technique and policy project.
