Abstract

Abstract BACKGROUND Since available arable land is limited and nitrogen fertilizers pollute the environment, cropping systems ought to be developed that do not rely on them. Here we investigate the rapidly growing, N 2 ‐fixing Azolla / Nostoc symbiosis for its potential productivity and chemical com...
