New soil test could reveal how microbes feed plants

Original: New soil test could reveal how soil microbes help feed plants

Researchers have developed a new soil test that could show how soil microbes help supply nutrients to plants. The method may improve understanding of nutrient cycling in farmland and could eventually guide more efficient fertiliser use. Details of the research, including where it was carried out and who funded it, have not been made clear in available reports.

Why now: The possible impact on agriculture and fertiliser efficiency is drawing attention from science readers.
