  1. WHAT ARE THE BEST CARBON MANAGEMENT PRACTICES? Kendall Heise

  2. Managing CO2 • CO2 Removal • CO2 emission reduction

  3. Soil Organic Matter • Climate • Tillage • Crop Residue • Crop Rotation • Management

  4. Fossil Fuels • Fuel for field operations • Crop inputs • Equipment manufacturing

  5. Is Zero Tillage the Answer? • Reduced residue breakdown • Reduced organic matter breakdown • Crop rotation • Moisture use efficiency

  6. Is Zero Tillage the Answer? • Less fuel used • Efficiency of crop inputs • Less equipment required • Equipment used fewer hours

  7. Concerns With Zero Tillage • N20 • Fertilizer • Legumes • Mineralized nitrogen • Crop Intensity

  8. Conclusions • BMP’s for GHG emission reduction are • also BMP’s for $$$ • Zero Tillage is not necessarily a BMP • unless crop intensity is maximized • Maximizing the efficiency of crop inputs • reduces GHG emissions
