Cover Story: This study investigates Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) as a precision agriculture strategy to reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in New Zealand’s intensive vegetable systems. The authors measured N2O fluxes under fertilised and unfertilised conditions using intact soil cores collected from CTF and Random Traffic Farming (RTF) plots. Results showed that fertilised RTF emitted more N2O than CTF, which achieved a 31.6% reduction in N2O emissions. Despite no significant differences in bulk density or porosity between CTF and RTF systems, CTF demonstrated potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by preserving soil structure. The findings support further exploration of CTF for sustainable nitrogen management. View this paper
