Soil bacteria may be the microscopic building blocks to greater crop growth and higher yields while knocking down chemical fertilizer use but University of Nebraska–Lincoln researchers recently found that more blocks do not always build taller towers.

Soil bacteria may be the microscopic building blocks to greater crop growth and higher yields—while knocking down chemical fertilizer use—but University of Nebraska–Lincoln researchers recently found that more blocks do not always build taller towers. For more than a million years, plants have co-evolved to closely associate with the billions of bacteria that live in the soil. In this micro-scale community, soil bacteria interact and compete for plant-given nutrients, producing a complex but balanced microbiome that can benefit plant growth. Microbiologists are now capitalizing on this prehistoric relationship by providing crops with ample growth-promoting bacteria.Despite the decades-long progress toward using soil microbes to promote plant growth, no studies in the ...
