7. 1. 0 Technical Options to Control the Nitrogen Cascade In California Agriculture This appendix describes the scientific basis, capacity, and applicability of management practices and technologies used to manage nitrogen (N) in California agriculture1. Countless methods have been developed to this end; the discussion here is not intended to be an exhaustive review. Instead, we direct attention toward N management approaches that have one or more of the following characteristics: are commonly used, have high potential to mitigate N effects, are receiving some research attention but have uncertain effects, have the potential for unintended consequences by transferring N from one medium to another, or were of particular interest to various stakeholder groups (Box 7.1.1). Additional information on N management in agriculture and the mechanisms to manage N from other drivers (e.g., industry) can be found in the resources listed in Table 7.1.1.1.
