SitS: Environmentally-benign sensors for the detection of nitrogen and foraging for nitrog — NSF Award to OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, T
This project will develop new sensing technologies to monitor and study nitrogen foraging by soil microbes that support crop plants. Next to carbon, nitrogen is the nutrient most necessary to all living organisms. Nitrogen is needed to produce the building blocks of life (e.g., DNA, proteins), and most nitrogen in abov

| Abstract | This project will develop new sensing technologies to monitor and study nitrogen foraging by soil microbes that support crop plants. Next to carbon, nitrogen is the nutrient most necessary to all living organisms. Nitrogen is needed to produce the building blocks of life (e.g., DNA, proteins), and most nitrogen in aboveground living organisms is sourced from plants. To provide nitrogen for crops, worldwide in 2019, 107 million tons of nitrogen fertilizer were applied to agricultural fields. Yet |
