[Agronomy article] Why Crops Cannot Directly Utilize Atmospheric Nitrogen (feat. Nitrogen Cycling in Soil)?
Crops utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to undergo photosynthesis. In other words, photosynthesis is the process in which crops, within their chloroplasts, utilize light energy to synthesize glucose (C6H12O6) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts located in the leaves of crops, where the Calvin cycle takes place, … Read more
