The Mosaic Company and BioConsortia, Inc. have entered into a collaboration to develop and launch nitrogen-fixing microbial products for corn, wheat and other major non-legume row crops, including carrots.
Nitrogen fertilizer applications can be inefficient with losses to air, ground water, and waterways, sometimes having unintended consequences.
New alternatives can provide this critical nutrient for plant growth. Through a process called ‘biological nitrogen fixation’, beneficial plant-associated microbes are able to naturally produce nitrogen in forms that are desired by plants, thereby reducing the reliance on synthetic inputs of nitrogen.
