Scientists tout pea plant discovery as potential breakthrough for sustainable farming
Researchers at the University of Oxford have made a discovery about how plants interact with soil bacteria that they claim could eventually help reduce the use of nitrogen fertilisers in farming. The research, published today in academic journal PNAS, has demonstrated for the first time that pea plants weigh up different bacterial partners in the soil based on their ability to provide nitrogen, and then provide sugar to the best available strains.
