s of biological nitrogen fixation for crop production around the world.
Reducing fertiliser
To develop a synthetic method for this symbiosis between other bacteria and crops, scientists worked to determine the groups of genes in bacteria that enable nitrogen fixing, then add those gene groups into other bacteria.
This is just one step, although a large step, on the road to figuring out how to promote increasing contribution of biological nitrogen fixation for crop production, Peters said.
