New soil test reveals 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 clarify which microbial processes contribute to plant nutrition, with potential implications for farming practices and reducing fertiliser use. Details of the findings and their practical applications remain limited in initial coverage.

Why now: The research could improve agricultural efficiency and reduce reliance on chemical fertilisers, making it timely for farming and science audiences
