Jeff and Jonathan discuss the relationship between rhizophagy, nitrogen, and plant root growth
This week, Jeff and Jonathan explore the relationship between sounds and plants. Did you know that plants grow towards the sound of water?
Next, Jeff disagrees with a recent article he read (article), where scientists are studying rhizobia bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing nodules to enhance plant fertilization. However, Jeff believes that they should focus on rhizophagy, which provides nitrogen to plants without the need for nodules.
Later, the duo addresses some interesting listener questions in detail.
