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. http://www.no-tillfarmer.com/articles/11630 Thu, 16 Jun 2022 15:30:00 -0400 https://www.no-tillfarmer.com/articles/11630-study-nitrogen-fixation-in-leaves-could-alter-crop-management PRMO_cultivatecrops.6.7.22.jpg This picture shows nitrogen-fixing bacteria in plant leaves (indicated by the white arrows). Rutgers University researchers who studied the bacteria in non-photo-synthetic leaves say the discovery could lead to breeds of plants and potentially alter nutrient management.
