A research team has discovered how the 'Shethna protein II' protects the nitrogen-fixing enzyme nitrogenase from damage. The oxygen sensor protein could help to make nitrogenase usable in ...

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 ...

Aims Evaluate biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and its contribution to total N yield in different grass-clover mixtures under a boreal coastal climate and assess how winter conditions affect the ...

Crop yields have increased substantially over the past decades, occurring alongside the increasing use of nitrogen fertilizer. While nitrogen fertilizer benefits crop growth, it has negative effects ...

A new research initiative led by associate professor of bacteriology Betül Kaçar is positioned to transform agriculture and address some of the world’s most pressing ecological and economic challenges ...

Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...

The marine nitrogen cycle is crucial to sustaining ocean productivity, with biological nitrogen fixation representing a primary mechanism by which inert atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract An in situ device for assaying biological nitrogen fixation in flooded rice soils, using the acetylene reduction method, was developed.

Chemical fertilizer is one of the marvels of the industrial revolution. The ability to deliver nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium into the agricultural cycle has changed the quality and yield of ...

By Ruth Kamnitzer Regenerating tropical forests pull carbon dioxide from the air, but a lack of nitrogen in the soil could ...

A small helper for big tasks: an oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious damage. Its use in biotechnology could help to reduce the use of ...
