Organic fertilisers derived from natural residues improve soil structure, increase water retention and stimulate microbial ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications has uncovered groundbreaking findings in plant biology, opening new doors ...

If we could use mutually beneficial relationships between plant roots and soil microbes to enhance nutrient uptake, then we could potentially reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. Researchers ...

There are only three main types of fertilizers that you should really know about – potassium (K), phosphorous (P), and nitrogen (N). Every fertilizer has a specific ratio of each ingredient, shown in ...

The findings represent an exciting breakthrough in the long-held ambition to use enhanced endosymbiotic partnerships as natural alternatives to inorganic-fertilizer across major crops, including ...

Promoting mutually beneficial relationships between plants and soil microbes that enhance nutrient acquisition by plants could improve crop production without increasing inorganic-fertilizer use.

Forever chemicals in sewage-based fertilizer spread on pastures can increase cancer risks for people who consume milk, beef, eggs and other products from those farms, with some risks potentially ...

The Environmental Protection Agency warned Tuesday in a first-of-its-kind study that “forever chemicals” in sewage sludge that’s used as fertilizer on farms across the country poses health ...

Although the increased use of synthetic fertilizers has improved soil nutrient availability and crop productivity, it has also increased soil acidification which can be harmful to the long-term ...
