New Bacteria Optimization Could Boost Nitrogen-Fixing In Corn
Soybeans greatly benefit from nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which reduces the need for fertilizer, and a new stuyt shows that gene-edited bacteria can supply the equivalent of 35 pounds of nitrogen from the air during early corn growth as well.
Agricultural scientists tested products from Pivot Bio called PROVEN and PROVEN 40, which includes one and two species of soil bacteria, respectively, that turn atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms. An edited gene involved in nitrogen fixation makes more of it available so more of it at planting means the bacteria colonize plant roots.
