Объем нефти в стратегическом резерве США достиг самого низкого уровня с 1983 года, а стоимость перевозки нефти и дефицит судов создают дополнительные логистические трудности. Одновременно фермеры сталкиваются с падением цен на зерно и высокими расходами на топливо и удобрения, что снижает их прибыль.
A new study has shown that raising groundwater levels in Arctic peatlands significantly reduces CO2 emissions without increasing methane or nitrous oxide emissions. Effective emissions management requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account local conditions and agricultural practices.
Scientists have used CRISPR technology to create wheat that encourages soil bacteria to naturally fix nitrogen. This breakthrough could reduce fertilizer costs, increase crop yields, and lessen environmental harm.
Scientists have proposed a new method to combat locusts: applying nitrogen fertilizers reduces pest populations while simultaneously increasing crop yields. This approach does not require emergency use of insecticides and remains effective even in the absence of an outbreak.
Scientists have discovered a molecular switch that enables plants to enter into symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This breakthrough could pave the way for the development of cereal crops capable of supplying themselves with nitrogen, thereby reducing agriculture's reliance on fertilizers.
