A team of scientists in China and the UK have discovered a potential breakthrough that could reduce rice farmers’ dependence on chemical fertilizers to sustain crop yields for the world’s most-eaten ...

To collect rice water, rinse one cup of rice in two cups of water until the water appears cloudy. Strain the rice, and keep the cloudy liquid. This liquid is packed with nutrients that can benefit ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford, Nanjing Agricultural University, and Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (Chinese Academy of Sciences) have finally identified the master ...

The water left over after you rinse or boil rice contains plenty of nutrients that shouldn't go to waste. Use it to fertilize this garden vegetable.

Soaring fertilizer costs have rice farmers across Asia scaling back its use, a move that threatens harvests of a staple that feeds half of humanity and could lead to a full-blown food crisis if prices ...

UC Davis researchers have discovered a way to grow cereal crops, like rice and wheat, with less nitrogen fertilizer, reducing pollution and saving farmers billions. Researchers at the University of ...

Researchers have used CRISPR to engineer rice that encourages soil bacteria to fix nitrogen, which is required for their growth. The findings may reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizers needed to ...

Nitrogen fertilizer is made from natural gas. Extracting and burning natural gas is harming life on our planet, so we should probably stop doing it (or at least try to cut back considerably). But food ...
