"Environmental losses from fertiliser manufacturing" probably makes most think of gaseous losses. But losses to water from drainage can be important. Constructed wetlands can be a vital abatement tool, and Matthias de Cazes will explain the latest developments at Yara sites. Details: buff.ly/IKAWyrS

Livestock manures are important for sustainable nutrient supply in agriculture, but can also result in losses to the environment. Jihane El Mahdi of Wageningen University will discuss her research to reduce these losses by segregating excretions and adapting applications. Details: buff.ly/4uvHPt8

Prof Phil Haygarth starts our day, and phosphorus thoughts, on Thursday, with an examination of estimated global phosphorus stocks in croplands and grasslands that are not readily available to plants, considering whether there are ways this can be better utilised, and addressing global imbalances.

Catherine Henault of INRAE will present two key approaches for greenhouse gas mitigation: (1) climatic liming which involves liming addition to attain soil pH of 6.8, and (2) inoculation of legumes with rhizobial strains harboring nosZ genes, known to encode for N2O reductase. buff.ly/shxUOjQ
