The effect of the cultivated variety on N emission was evaluated₂O and the yield of the sugarcane crop under a dose of 184 kg N ha-1. The above allowed us to estimate the footprint of the N₂Or for each variety and contrasting agroecological zone. In general, no relationship was identified between sugarcane variety and cumulative N emission.₂Or from the soil due to the multiple factors that influence the N assimilation dynamics of the plant.
