Totally in the country, the volume of nitrous oxide emissions in the period under review has decreased twice as a result of reduced applying mineral fertilizers and reduction in consumption of fossil fuels. N₂O emissions from agricultural soils depend on the types of soils, contents of humus, activities of microorganisms, liming, cattle pasturing, fertilizing and other factors. While calculating N₂O emissions from agricultural soils, the experts used data on applying mineral fertilizers, which enriches the soil with nitrogen, reinforces processes of mineralization, change biological activity. In Tajikistan, application of mineral fertilizers has been decreasing year by year, due to reduction of import of mineral fertilizers and low capacity of domestic production.

Another source of N₂O emissions is a high-temperature combustion of fuel, when nitrogen consisting of atmospheric air reacts with oxygen. Given that heat power plants and transport in Tajikistan is few, the volume of N₂O emissions is insignificant and makes 0,2-0,5 Gg.
