New technology directly distinguishes nitrogen issues with greater discrimination than current remote sensing techniques. Developed by the University of Minnesota (UM), Sentera has licensed the ...

Nitrogen might be the king of yield, but if a corn plant is sulfur deficient, it won’t reach its maximum potential. Over the past 10 years, sulfur deficiency has become a significant issue. “Farmers ...

"We studied a large number of wheat and barley genotypes under different nitrogen supply conditions and analyzed their root architecture and nitrogen accumulation in the plants," says lead author Md.

Despite advances in modern agriculture, overuse of fertilizers spurred by fears of low crop yield is a continuing source of damage to the environment. Excess nitrogen from fertilizers ends up in ...

Nitrates are critical for the growth of plants, so plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to ensure sufficient nitrate uptake from their environments. In a new study published in Nature Plants, ...

Healthy plant growth and reproduction require 17 nutrients. Of these, carbon (C), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) are derived mainly from the atmosphere and water. Soil minerals and/or soil organic ...

As a cool-season bedding plant, columbines are a lovely choice. They bloom in spring, generally lingering into May. They will not tolerate heat, however, and languish and die in the heat of June.

If your vegetable garden isn't thriving as expected, despite your best efforts, it might not be a matter of neglect but of nutrition. Just like humans, plants need a balanced diet to grow strong and ...

Researchers have identified a plant enzyme that is key to activating a nitrate uptake mechanism in response to nitrogen starvation. This finding explains how plants meet their needs in challenging ...
