Finally, we started to prepare the legume plants (soybeans, french beans, sugar peas, and broad beans) for GreeNTrans project!
Here we go! We just finished building the germination chamber/growth room for seedling production!!

🌱 How Nitrate Messes with Plant-Bacteria Love 💔
Did you know? High nitrate levels can ruin the special bond between plants & rhizobia (nitrogen-fixing bacteria)! Here’s how: 🔻 Less root hair deformation 🔻 Fewer bacteria sticking to roots 🔻 Broken infection threads 🔻 More failed symbiosis attempts We’re testing different nitrate levels to find the sweet spot where plants thrive AND keep their bacterial buddies happy! 🤝✨
The Nitrogen Dilemma: How Much is Just Right for Legumes?
Legumes are nitrogen ninjas—they recruit rhizobia bacteria to turn air into plant food! But here’s the catch: if we pump their hydroponic solution with too much nitrogen, they stop cooperating! We’re running experiments to find the ideal nitrogen concentration where both the plants and their nitrogen-fixing bacteria buddies can thrive. Stay tuned—results coming soon!
