Scientists develop metal-organic framework composites that convert nitrogen to ammonia using renewable electricity, offering ...

Nitricity is using solar electricity to extract nitrogen directly from our air to produce nitric acid, the most critical nutrient in fertilizer that plants use to grow everything we humans eat. The ...

Nitrogen is not a glamorous topic, but it is essential to plant and food growth. Without it, crops would be vulnerable in climate changes, like drought or excessive rains, and not produce the quantity ...

Scientists at the University of California Davis recently developed wheat plants that stimulate the production of their own ...

A team of researchers at MIT has now developed a novel approach to producing ammonia without the reliance on traditional ...

Using bacteria as a source of crucial nutrients for crops may avoid the environmental problems caused by conventional chemical fertilizers. Bacteria are already being investigated for making ...

Plants are naturally “solar-powered,” but there is a carbon footprint associated with growing them as a crop. The fuel used to power tractors and other equipment is part of that footprint, but the ...

The Mosaic Company has received a state permit to drill an exploratory well in Polk County, Florida. The well will test the geology for the potential deep underground injection of fertilizer ...
