[QUOTE="Natallia @PlantWorks, post: 7782574, member: 143783"] Firstly thank you for inviting me to this group to discuss N fixing bacteria. Maybe to offer a little context. PlantWorks is a science-based producer of biofertilisers with research covering some twenty years in functional microbes in the UK. In 2014 we commenced our research programmes for UK farming, results from which I am pleased to share with this group. A very classic example of the use of N fixing bacteria is usually quoted from Brazil, where annually over 100 million doses are applied, 10% of which on wheat where between 13-18% greater root mass is observed and an average grain yield increase of 8%. Bacteria like warm conditions with good food sources (from plant exudates) to replicate and function. Although we are getting hotter, European soils and environments are not like those of Brazil; with that said, we are finding increasing function of the application of tuned bacteria called ‘Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) for different crops in the UK. I will offer in this thread some results and discussion that I would be pleased to answer questions on, or indeed, to answer any other questions this group have more generally. [/QUOTE]
