Research into bacteria strains that are both competitive and efficient in nitrogen fixation and developing plants with those characteristics is the goal of NDSU research started in October 2024.

Plants cannot use nitrogen in this form and can only use nitrogen once it is chemically altered into ammonia. Converting nitrogen gas to ammonia is called nitrogen fixation. Aside from the occasional ...

Introduction: Chickpea (*Cicer arietinum* L.) is an important pulse crop mainly grown in marginal lands around the world. Drought stress highly impacts symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in chickpeas, ...

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 ...

The rise is mainly on account of the hike in global rates of phosphatic fertilisers. The subsidy for nitrogen (N) will be ₹43.02/kg in the kharif season 2025 starting April, which is the same as ...

In the 57-second clip, Mr Cook clarifies that the decision isn't driven by cheap labour, as commonly believed. The project reimagines beloved characters like the Amul Girl, Air India's Maharaja ...

Eggs are laid in the soil near the stem of pea plants. After hatching from the eggs, the larvae proceed downward to primarily feed on pea nodules resulting in partial or complete inhibition of ...

Apr. 9, 2025 — A new study reveals the modern arid desert between Africa and Saudi Arabia was once regularly lush and green with rivers and lakes over a period of 8 million years, allowing for ...

Here, we implement an integrated approach to study nitrogenase, an ancient, globally critical enzyme essential for nitrogen fixation. Despite the ecological diversity of its host microbes, nitrogenase ...

Apr. 16, 2025 — Mycobacteria are the world's most deadly bacteria --c ausing infectious diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which alone kills more than one million people each year. New drugs ...
