A new study finds that many states in the Midwest have the unique potential to reduce nitrogen pollution without hurting crop yield. Many researchershave looked at nitrogen pollution hotspots around the country. But a new first-of-its-kind, multi-yearstudyfrom the University of Vermont looks at areas where nitrogen pollution reduction is most feasible without affecting crop yield.   Nitrogen is essential to plant growth and is a major component of most commercial fertilizers. However, excess nitrogen can contribute to environmental degradation, including reducing air and water quality.    “It s a very critical element. There s been people working on managing it better for a long time,” saysEric Roy, an assistant professor at the University of Vermont and a co-author of the study. “But despite those efforts, we continue to struggle to use nitrogen efficiently in food production to get the benefit of growing food without the environmental cost.”
