Question raised in Lok Sabha on the issue of consumption of fertilizers, 15/07/2014 .

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate is the best single predictor of N2O emissions from agricultural soils, which are responsible for ∼50% of the total global anthropogenic flux, but it is a relatively imprecise estimator. Accumulating evidence suggests that the emission response to increasing N input is exponential rather than linear, as assumed by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change methodologies. The researchers performed a metaanalysis to test the generalizability of this pattern.
