Nitrogen fixation takes a considerable amount of energy in the form of sugars produced by photosynthesis in the crop. “Estimates of the amount of energy this takes range widely but could be in ...

Nitrogen is a critical limiting element for plant growth and production. It is a major component of chlorophyll, the most important pigment needed for photosynthesis, as well as amino acids ...

Högberg and T. Näsholm, Swedish Univ. Agricultural Sciences). Even if photosynthesis responds very little to nitrogen deposition, this allocation shift could induce higher wood production and ...

It's that time of year when things start greening up more, and it seems to brighten up by the day. I was home Monday as it ...

Because of the tight supplies and soaring costs of nitrogen materials, Indiana farmers are taking a critical second look at their fertilizer programs. The object of such an evaluation is to insure the ...

On one hand, the boosted photosynthesis and consequently heightened carbohydrate ... which include major agricultural crops, take in less nitrogen as a result of that excess carbon, thereby reducing ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

Remember that big word we learned in elementary school, 'photosynthesis ... It's through a process called nitrogen fixation. Earth's atmosphere is mostly comprised of nitrogen.
