Because of the scarcity of suitable carbon and energy sources for these organisms, their contribution to global nitrogen fixation rates is generally considered minor. However, a recent study in ...

Prof. Dhar leads the school of thought which believes that nitrification in soils and nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere are, especially in the tropics, photochemical at least as much as ...

61, No. 4 (2016), pp. 1406-1423 (18 pages) Nitrogen (N) transformations and fluxes at the sediment-water interface (SWI) were measured in Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain, to clarify the role of N in ...

Brazil is the world's largest producer of soybeans and one of the reasons is the incorporation of bio-inputs, microorganisms ...

Research into bacteria strains that are both competitive and efficient in nitrogen fixation and developing plants with those ...

Plants need nitrogen to grow, but they can’t just grab it from the air like we do with oxygen. If the soil doesn’t have enough, farmers have to add fertilizers—an expensive and environmentally tricky ...

Nitrogen fixation by soybean decreases exponentially as N application rate increases, such that application of 45 lb/ac N can lead to a 40% or greater reduction in N fixation over the maximum ...

Church Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 62, No. 1 (2017), pp. 200-216 (17 pages) We present nearly 9 yrs (June 2005–December 2013) of measurements of upper-ocean (0 m to 125 m) dinitrogen (N₂) ...

Just like today, early life on Earth was therefore dependent on nitrogen fixation by microbes. In other words, on their conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen compounds that living ...

Nitrates are natural fertilizers. As the rain comes down in a thunderstorm, it carries those nitrates down to the ground. This fertilizes the grass, and it allows things to green up a little bit more.

AsRon Calhoun, Senior Portfolio Manager for Plant Nutrition at Nutrien Ag Solutions, explains with its three modes of action—N-Finity is elevating how Loveland Products can further nutrient use ...

A small helper for big tasks: an oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from ...
