N fertilizer

AbstractAmmonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria (AOA and AOB, respectively) are important intermediate links in the nitrogen cycle. Apart from the AOA and AOB communities in soil, we further investigated co-occurrence patterns and microbial assembly processes subjected to inorganic and organic fertilizer treatments for over 35 years. The amoA copy numbers and AOA and AOB communities were found […]

The Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Morocco has signed partnerships with two global corporates with the aim of advancing its research knowhow around low carbon fuels. Commenting on the university’s goal with the partnerships, Mohamed Bousseta (Innovate for Industry Director) said: “We observe an acceleration of the energy transition worldwide to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, […]

In the modern world, food means fertilizer. Everything from a bowl of breakfast cereal to a curry relies on abundant use of synthetic fertilizer to raise crops or livestock. (The one notable exception, seafood, has its own carbon and sustainability problems). Over the last century, fertilizer use has enabled an unprecedented increase in human population […]

The proposal would jump-start several hydrogen projects in North Dakota and Minnesota, including Xcel using renewable power to make hydrogen for a potential fertilizer plant in Morris. The allure of “clean” hydrogen as a climate change remedy is so potent that Congress ponied up $8 billion for it. Xcel Energy and the state of Minnesota […]

Abstract Field studies were conducted over 2 years to determine the response of soil microbial biomass pool to biochar and N fertilizer combinations in a rain-fed rice cropping system. Biochar was applied at four doses: 0 t ha−1, 3 t ha−1, 6 t ha−1 and 12 t ha−1 in combination with N fertilizer at four rates: 0 kg ha−1, 30 kg ha−1, 60 kg ha−1 and 90 kg ha−1 to a Typic Paleustalf Alfisol. Soil samples […]
