Polysulfate amendments to reduce methane from rice
Abstract
This study tests whether polysulfate-based soil amendments reduce methane production in flooded rice by limiting the acetate available to methane-producing bacteria.
Period of Performance
2025 - 2026
Funding Agency
ICL Growing Solutions
Methods
Across three Delta farmer fields, treated and control plots are compared; soils are analyzed for acetate and incubated to measure methane bursts by GC-MS at MSU's Hand Laboratories.
