Economic analysts continue to project larger market shares for biological products in the fields. Some researchers, meanwhile, say additional research is needed before scientists can understand how some of the items in the category work, or even if they work.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have found a way to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizers needed to grow cereal crops. The discovery could save farmers in the United States billions of dollars annually in fertilizer costs while also benefiting the environment.
The study, recently published in the journal Biology, investigated how bacteria in non-photosynthetic leaf cells of seed plants can naturally provide nitrogen to plants. Currently, inorganic nitrogen fertilizers, such as ammonia or nitrate, are commonly applied to soils, damaging soils, and causing nitrogen runoff that contaminates streams, rivers, and other water bodies.

While agricultural production around the world struggles with declining soil health, Australian researchers are investigating production of a sustainable organic nitrogen fertilizer made from aquatic cyanobacterial biomass — ideally suited for badly degraded areas reliant on chemical fertilizers, says Flinders University.
It's long been understood that microbes play an important role in making nutrients available to plants but new research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows that different microbes play distinct roles and environmental factors influence activity.
Production of grain-type field peas is continuing to grow as it becomes an alternative to summerfallow in semi-arid, cereal-based cropping systems, say experts from Colorado and Kansas State universities and the University of Nebraska.
