Grain legumes in northern great plains
Cropping systems in the Northern Great Plains have shifted from fallow-based to legume-based systems. The introduction of grain legumes has impacted soil organisms, including both symbiotic and nonsymbiotic N-fixing bacteria, pathogens, mycorrhizae and fauna, and the processes they perform. These changes occur through effects of legume seed exudates, rhizosphere exudates, and decomposing crop ...

The Role of Soil NPK Sensors
Agriculture is a crucial sector that provides food for the world's population. As the population continues to grow, the demand for food also increases. To meet this demand, farmers must produce more food with fewer resources. One of the ways to achieve this is by optimizing crop nutrition and maximizing yield. Soil NPK sensors have emerged as a useful tool for farmers to achieve these goals. Soil ...
