Anything in excess is unhealthy. If a farmer applies too much or too little fertilizer to the soil it may not give him a good yield. What is the correct method to apply fertilizers? Also, suggest alternative ways to increase nutrients in soil.

I am a Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of Vienna in Austria. My research is focused on understanding how bacteria survive and grow in the environment. I am really interested in microbes called nitrifiers, which are microbes that use nitrogen compounds (like some found in fertilizer) to get all of their energy. The goal of my research is to understand how nitrifiers grow so we can control how and where they grow in the environment. Outside of science I enjoy listening to music and playing ice hockey. *[email protected]

I am a Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of Aalborg in Denmark and the University of Vienna in Austria. My research interests are focused on microorganisms in soil involved in nitrogen cycling. In particular, I want to know more about the physical and chemical factors that control the activity of different groups of microorganisms involved in the nitrogen cycle. I am also interested in how the activity of these tiny microorganisms can have big impacts on agriculture and environmental health. [email protected]

I am a Senior Scientist at the University of Vienna in Austria. I research how different microorganisms grow and what they can eat. This information is stored in their DNA, their genomes—which is like the hard drive of a microorganism that contains all the data on what it can do.

ABSTRACT
Fertilizers are added to crops in order to produce enough food to feed the human population. Fertilizers provide crops with nutrients like potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen, which allow crops to grow bigger, faster, and to produce more food. Nitrogen in particular is an essential nutrient for the growth of every organism on Earth. Nitrogen is all around us and makes up about 78% of the air you breathe. However, plants and animals cannot use the nitrogen gas in the air. To grow, plants require nitrogen compounds from the soil, which can be produced naturally or be provided by fertilizers.
