Description: Abstract: Efficient bioresource management of agricultural fields can alter soil biochemistry and physical properties, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study aims to evaluate the role of organic amendment, including sugar kelp (SK) and its combination with inorganic fertilizer (IF), in reducing GHG emissions and increasing crop productivity. Four soil amendments, including SK (Sugar Kelp), IF (Inorganic Fertilizer), SK + IF (Sugar Kelp + Inorganic Fertilizer), and control (no amendment), were replicated four times under a randomized block design during the potato growing season of in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. A LI-COR trace gas analyzer and LI-COR portable photosynthesis systems were used to monitor emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) from treatment plots and to monitor GHG exchange between plant leaves and the environment, respectively to check the effect of sugar kelp under mentioned four conditions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results was able to depict which treatment plots have higher soil moisture-holding capacities measured by LI-COR trace gas analyzer. Soil moisture impacts soil temperature and rainfall events so a HOBO weather station was installed at the sampling site for the local and accurate measurement of the average temperature of the GHGs and harvesting events. ANOVA results were used to understand the effect of each treatment and environmental factors on resulting GHG emissions and potato crop productivity.
Keywords: Sustainable agriculture, Soil health, Organic fertilizers, Greenhouse gas emissions, Li-Cor Soil gas Flux system and Li-Cor Portable photosynthesis system
