A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

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 ...

Breakthrough in N2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation. By harnessing ...

Multi-species swards typically include PRG, cocksfoot, Timothy, red and white clover, chicory and plantain herbs ...

Azolla is a fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing water fern offering a sustainable, low-cost alternative to chemical fertilisers and expensive livestock feed in India. Learn how to cultivate Azolla for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, the University of Cologne, and the University of ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 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 ...

the ability to transform nitrogen from a gas into a usable form — something called nitrogen fixation — was a feat that scientists thought only certain kinds of bacteria and other simple ...

Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making its ...
