Wednesday Tec Talk: Free Living Nitrogen Fixation
Free Living Nitrogen Fixation (FLNF) is where organisms in the soil fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and make it plant available in the soil. Unlike rhizobia found in legumes these organisms aren't fixed to a plant and live freely in the soil with some producing more nitrogen than their legume equivalents. But unlike the rhizobia in legumes FLNF is mostly unknown but potentially has a large role to play in the farming system going forward as agriculture looks to reduce its carbon emissions and find more sustainable and regenerative methods for maintaining nitrogen in the farming system. Listen to todays Podcast to find out more about Free Living Nitrogen Fixation, how it can benefit you and how you can encourage it in your paddocks.
