ANU-43A RIRDC publication ; no. 02/163 Summary A marked increase in environmental awareness and a concern for sustainable agriculture has occurred over the last decade. This awareness has highlighted the need both to further promote plant growth and yields and also to find environmentally benign replacements for industrially produced nitrogen fertilisers. Agriculturalists have searched for various soil bacteria that might make reliable contributions to the growth of non-legume cereals and have found a group of bacteria which intimately associate with rice. Many of these rice-associating strains are also nitrogen-fixing. Recently Rhizobium bacteria, which normally nodulate legumes, have been shown to associate intimately with the roots of rice plants Notes "January 2003" "Shaping the future"--Cover "Human Capital, Communications and Information Systems Research and Development"--Cover Bibliography References: pages 39-43 Notes Also available in PDF format at the RIRDC website at: http://www.rirdc.gov.au/reports System requirements: Adobe acrobat reader 2003 Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation Subject Social service, Rural -- Government policy -- Australia.
