"Bio-fertilizer" is additionally called bacterial fertilizer ( acronym: microbial plant food). Its kinds are: nitrogen fixation, origin nodule, phosphorus solution, silicate, prep work, compound, fungus, antibiotic and also various other microbial plant foods. ...
Well, what if you could get a timely protein boost, increase yield and be more sustainable all at once? It’s possible with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This is a next-gen biologicals solution that will soon be a must-have for your farm. ...
These results show that clinoptilolite zeolite does regulate soil nitrogen fixation, and can be used to improve the NH4+ adsorption capacity of agricultural soil. The zeolite holds more nitrogen in the soil, and increases its capacity to retain nutrients with low water and high temperatures. Clinoptilolite zeolite as an agricultural soil ...
Earth Innovations is a new series from Sound Agriculture that covers the up-and-coming techniques growers are deploying to keep their yields high and their land healthy for generations to come. In each blog post, we break down the benefits and challenges of incorporating new practices, using real growers’ experiences and the Sound Agronomy Team’s expertise. Cover crops are ...
The crop absorbed high levels of nitrogen from the wastewater. Special care is required in the feeding of the hay to animals. ...
At present, the main emphasis in organic fertilizer fermentation is the function of nitrogen fixation, phosphorus and potassium, while the role of physiologically active substances or enzymes in the biological fermentation process is ignored, and the improvement of organic matter in biological bacteria is ignored. ...
This unavailability means that gaseous nitrogen must be fixed into a form that plants can use, either through the production of commercial fertilizer or symbiotic nitrogen fixation. ...

Microbial fertilizers have the effects of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen fixation, which can improve the fertilizer utilization rate by more than 10% to 30%. ...
However, the bio-organic fertilizer produced contains a large number of elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium required for crop growth, and most of them exist in organic form, organic fertilizer. ...
Nitrogen fixation is one of the best examples of cooperation in nature. Soil microbes – naturally occurring bacteria in the soil – work with plants to pull nitrogen from the air. They turn the nitrogen into a form the plant is able to use. ...
“This is probably why most plants have not figured out how to fix nitrogen for themselves,” he says. A special class of cyanobacteria, however, manages to accomplish both photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. The key is having a genetic switch to run photosynthesis during the day and nitrogen ...

The aim of this work was to isolate a photosynthetic Microbial Consortium (MC) with capacity to fix nitrogen, from biological material collected in a rice field. The isolated MC was maintained at BG–110 medium, free of nitrogen source and progressively scaled up at 0.5 L, 1 L, 1.9 L and 11 L working volume. The nitrogen fixing rates obtained in ...
Here we report the field quantification of its seasonal and annual N fixation, using the 15N isotopic dilution (ID) method, the influence of various nonfixing reference species on these estimates, and the allocation of fixed N between the aerial and the belowground biomass. Parallel experiments were conducted over two biennial crop cycles at two Italian locations (Sassari and ...
Merr.] environments, N uptake during seed-filling may be constrained when the late-season decline in biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is coupled with insufficient soil N. Three N-fertilization strategies were compared with a control (N0) on soybeans in 2006 and 2007 in a high-yield soybean-maize (Zea mays L.) rotation experiment established in 1999. ...
Drought stress reduces growth and yield in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and also reduces nitrogen fixation (NF). Peanut production in drought prone areas should be enhanced by the development of cultivars that can fix more nitrogen (N) under drought conditions. ...
The soil microbial parameters to be studied were chosen to reflect general microbial processes (carbon and nitrogen mineralisation), and more specific processes (nitrogen fixation, ammonium oxidation and denitrification). ...
