Agricultural activities such as an inorganic nitrogen fertilization and biomass burning contribute to increase the N 2 O emissions from the agricultural sector. Integrated Pest Management Field School (IPM) in chili plantations using organic based fertiliser and the application of silver-black plastic mulch promote to reduce the N 2 O emissions from agricultural sector. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reduction of N 2 O emissions using organic based fertilizer and silver-black plastic mulch treatment on IPM school plots in Rembang and Sukabumi Regencies. The results showed that there was no significant different on N 2 O emission from the organic based fertilizer and plastic mulch application to the control. However, treatment of organic based fertiliser and silver-black plastic mulch in IPM plots contribute to reduce the N 2 O emissions of 14% in Sukabumi and 27% in Rembang compared to conventional farmers’ technology without organic based fertiliser and plastic mulch treatments. Thus, the IPM on the chilli plantation contribute to N 2 O mitigation.
