Will biotechnology replace nitrogen fertilizer?
Research in molecular biology has put highly desirable and widely adopted traits for herbicide and pest resistance into crop plants. It is expected that the science will soon impact the rate of progress in yield improvement, and that genetically modified plants may show increased stress tolerance and nutrient use efficiency. What is the likelihood of being able to replace N fertilizer altogether?
