Due to the asymptotic nature of the crop yield response curve to fertilizer N supply, the
nitrogen use efficiency (NUE, yield per unit of fertilizer applied) of crops declines as the crop …

Soil is a living ecosystem, the health of which depends on fine interactions among its abiotic
and biotic components. These form a delicate equilibrium maintained through a multilayer …

Co-inoculation of soybean with Azospirillum brasilense and Bradyrhizobium spp. is an
increasing practice in Brazil, but little is known about the conditions that maximize crop …

Solar-driven bioelectrosynthesis represents a promising approach for converting abundant
resources into value-added chemicals with renewable energy. Microorganisms powered by …

Innovative technology to increase efficient nitrogen (N) use while avoiding environmental
damages is needed because of the increasing food demand of the rapidly growing global …

Abstract Since the Green Revolution, world agriculture has relied heavily on agrochemical
inputs (synthetic fertilizers and pesticides) in cereal-and oilseed-dominated monoculture …

Symbiotic nodules formed on legume roots with rhizobia fix atmospheric N2. Bacteria reduce
N2 to NH4+ that is assimilated into amino acids by the plant. In return, the plant provides …

Legumes are ecologically and economically important plants that contribute to nutrient
cycling and agricultural sustainability, features tied to their intimate symbiosis with nitrogen …

During and after the green revolution in the last century, agrochemicals especially nitrogen
(N) were extensively used. However, it resulted in a remarkable increase in crop yield but …

Legumes' nutrition relies on two sources of nitrogen (N): mineral N from soil, and biological
N fixation (BNF). The aim of this study was to verify the effect of bacterial inoculation, as well …
