The edited versions boost the activity of a key gene involved in nitrogen fixation, making more of it available to plants. When applied at planting, the bacteria colonize plant roots, delivering ...

Nitrogen goes makes up 80 per cent of the air that we breathe in the form of a very stable N2 gas. In my several years at ...

Atmospheric nitrogen must first be converted, or "fixed," into a form that can be used by plants, often as ammonia. There are only two ways of fixing nitrogen, one industrial and one biological.

IT is a well-known fact that by the combined action of cellulose-decomposing and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in crude culture, elementary nitrogen may be fixed in quantities of as much as 10–12 mgm.

So, how can you tell if your plants are suffering from a nitrogen-deficiency and, if they are, how do you fix it? First, let's start with the major signs of a nitrogen deficiency. Typically ...
