The management of agricultural soil is the largest source of nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in the United States by far. In 2021, agricultural soil management accounted for nearly three quarters of total U.S. N₂O emissions. The joint second-largest contributors to N₂O emissions were stationary combustion installations such as power plants and wastewater treatment facilities.
