Popis: | This paper reviews an experimental program concerned with increasing the biological fixation of nitrogen for use by agricultural crops. Data are presented on the comparative nitrogen fixation rates of Rhizobium in symbiosis with various soybean varieties. A series of experiments is described concerning mutant strains of free-living nitrogen fixing bacteria that can fix nitrogen even in the presence of high levels of ammonium. |
