How to limit ammonia emissions from cereal crops. Using artificial fertilizers buried deeper into the soil, which will not reduce nitrogen supply to plants, would be the most effective method of achieving this goal.

Ammonia (NH3) emissions into the air by 38% for the cultivation of the three main cereals consumed on the planet, rice, wheat and corn. These cereals alone are responsible for half of agricultural emissions. This colorless gas is very irritating to the respiratory system and the skin. At very high concentrations, it is even fatal.
