As a result, finding a way to improve nitrogen uptake in agricultural products could improve yields and decrease risks to environmental and human health. (sciencedaily.com)
The China Agricultural University researchers studied the increased nitrogen uptake in plants that received no nitrogen fertilizer to drive home their point that «all these changes can be linked to a common driving factor, strong economic growth.» (scientificamerican.com)
Similarly, nitrogen uptake by rice, wheat and maize (corn) on long - term unfertilized farmland had increased by about 16 % in the same period. (scientificamerican.com)
