Nitrogen fixing bacteria may have helped some cycads survive to the present day DURHAM, N.C. -- Once a favored food of grazing dinosaurs, an ancient lineage of plants called cycads helped sustain ...

Nitrogen is an important plant nutrient that is often deficient in the sandy soils that dominate Delaware, so application of manures and/or fertilizers is necessary to produce maximum economic yields.

Only when nitrogen is converted from dinitrogen gas into ammonia (NH 3) does it become available to primary producers, such as plants. In addition to N 2 and NH 3, nitrogen exists in many ...

But multiple studies suggest that these plants, which include major agricultural crops, take in less nitrogen as a result of that excess carbon, thereby reducing their nutritional value and their ...

Here's our guide to feeding your garden. Most plants need three major nutrients to thrive; nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, which are generally known as NPK (their chemical symbols).

Nitrogen gas makes up 78% of Earth’s atmosphere and is an essential component in amino acids and proteins. However, plants and animals cannot use nitrogen gas directly. Nitrates and other ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, the University of Cologne, and the University of Copenhagen have uncovered a hidden talent of the Casparian strip—a root structure ...
