Bayer to expand into new accessible ag-adjacent markets Beyond this core, Bayer is strongly positioned to expand into new market opportunities adjacent to its core offerings, for instance: Crop Fertility and Biological Breakthroughs: Biologically based nitrogen-fixation technologies can help farmers grow more with less, reducing emissions and costs for farmers ...

However, in the long term the soil will be less eroded, less exhausted, less polluted and the nitrogen emissions will be reduced. It seems to be a moral choice more than anything: Both methods are sustainable income wise, but one yields less profits but leaves the land in a better condition. ...
Chickpeas naturally possess several climate resilient traits, including high water-use efficiency and nitrogen fixation capabilities that contribute to soil regeneration. NuCicer’s genomic-guided breeding platform enables the discovery of genetic controls for key traits that further enhance climate resilience such as tolerance to heat, drought, acidic ...

While biofertilizers are a smaller piece of biologicals in sales today, Marcus Meadows-Smith, CEO of BioConsortia, sees a future where nitrogen fixation biological products could be $50 billion in sales. The company is using its Advanced Microbial Selection process to identify microbes for biofertilizers, pest management and biostimulants. “One of top ...
” Betsy Alford PhD from UC Davis and Andrew Phillips PhD, from Bayer CropScience, both join the BioConsortia team that is currently utilizing gene editing to develop the next generation of products for nitrogen fixation, yield enhancement and crop protection. The power of gene editing unleashes the natural power of microbials by enabling an over-expression ...
” BioConsortia’s pipeline of products include new fungicides, nematicides, insecticides, biostimulants for fruits & vegetables, biostimulants for row crops, and novel nitrogen fixation products (both natural and gene edited) for corn, wheat and other crops. ...
BioConsortia has a R&D platform for the discovery of beneficial microbes and a development model to produce agricultural products with superior efficacy and higher consistency in three areas of research: Biopesticides: a pipeline of several biofungicides and nematicides with superior efficacy Biostimulants: growth promoting products that further increase yields in standard, high-yielding ...
One such practice is Ecological Recycling Agriculture, or ERA, which can be defined as a system, such as a farm(s), in which at least 85% of total nitrogen used is produced by the system1. More broadly, ERA involves balancing crop and animal production, so that the material used for nitrogen fixation and to improve soil fertility can also be ...
Registrations are now open for the 17th Australian Nitrogen Fixation Conference which will be held in South Australia from September 28 to October 2 this year. The conference will bring together Australian and international delegates with an interest in biological nitrogen (N) fixation. Co-hosted by the Australian Society for ...
Growers considering adding nitrogen to chickpeas to boost yield should save their money, according to the results of recent trial research. Trials by the Northern Grower Alliance and funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation found that adding nitrogen to crops did not have any impact on yield, making the additional cost and potential loss in ...
The results showed that soil samples from more arid areas were associated with lower concentrations of carbon and nitrogen but higher phosphorus. The presence of carbon and nitrogen in the soil is linked to biological processes such as photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation by plants and decomposition of litter. ...
” Projects to receive funding in 2014 include: The performance of direct-cut harvest systems in canola; Improving nitrogen fixation of peas; Improving disease resistance in wheat; How residue from soybeans contributes to nutrition and yield in cereal crops the following year; Identifying new mustard varieties with improved yields; Honey bee health ...
“Wageningen plant scientists, led by Professor Ken Giller and financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, are improving food security by using plants that combine with bacteria to fixate nitrogen from the air. This method helps increase the food crop ...
A large-scale research and development project has shown that giving farmers resources and advice on nitrogen fixation through legume plants can double yields and boost incomes in Africa. ...
As well as to accentuate naturally occurring traits such as the secretion of pest-killing toxins or nitrogen-fixation, the modification of microbes is often needed to allow them to be grown in large numbers out of their natural environment. ...
All three fertility treatments were compared for their effects on soil biology, as well as on soil carbon, nitrogen, and acidity. The study assessed the diversity of the microbial functioning, rather than the variety of soil microorganisms. ...
The legumes, such as soybeans, groundnuts or pigeon pea, fix nitrogen in the soil to make it richer in nutrients by hosting nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called rhizobia in their roots. These live in a symbiotic relationship with their host plant ― exchanging nitrogen for nutrients. They may also help enrich degraded soil with phosphorous. ...
