A unifying concept for the dependence of whole-crop N:P ratio on biomass : theory and experiment [PDF]
Background and Aims: Numerous estimates have been made of the concentrations of N and P required for good growth of crop species but they have not been defined by any unifying model.

Effect of Endophytic Microorganisms on Growth Rate of Crops
Increasing the yield of wheat, barley, and oats is a pressing issue. It largely depends on soil fertility. Mineral fertilizers, however, may be ineffective and unsustainable. As a result, microorganisms seem to be a promising alternative. The authors isolated endophytic microorganisms with growth-stimulating properties and assessed their effect on the ...
