Reducing fertilizer consumption while ensuring plants have adequate nitrogen uptake is a problem that researchers are attempting to crack. The National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR) in New Delhi has now developed a way of improving ‘nitrogen use efficiency’ (NUE) by merely reducing nitric oxide content in plants... read full story
"This innovative approach diverges from traditional, costly, and environmentally harmful fertilizers. Instead, it genetically and pharmacologically modulates NO levels to regulate HATs, offering a sustainable solution to boost crop yield with reduced nitrogen inputs,"
