We are virtually traveling in-field to learn more about microbial nitrogen and the impact biologicals and biostimulants can have on your crops. Dairy Stream host, Joanna Guza, and guest, Rick Molenaar ...

Interventions involving bacteria or fungi could help to sequester greenhouse gases, create more sustainable products and ...

In fertilizers, microbial solutions enhance nutrient absorption, fix nitrogen, and improve soil health, leading to a 25-30% ...

One day, the nitroplast may revolutionize farming. "It's one of the Holy Grails of biotechnology," says Jon Zehr, a ...

"It's one of the Holy Grails of biotechnology," says Jon Zehr, a now-retired microbial ecologist from UC Santa Cruz — the ability to engineer plants that could snatch nitrogen out of the air and ...

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas into nitrates. These bacteria can be found "free" in the soil or in nodules on the roots of plants like peas, beans, and clover. Nitrogen-fixing ...

This is when bacteria in the soil convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas which then gets released back into the atmosphere.

Craig Wood and his team at CSIRO using advanced synthetic biology and crop biotechnology to create new crops that can fix their own nitrogen for growth. "Some bacteria are able to make their own ...

If corn ever felt envious of soybeans’ relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing might one day level the playing field. Researchers at the University of Illinois ...
