Way forward : Inorganic fertilizers out, nanofertilizers in

Researchers from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) have developed nanofertilizers that could help the country achieve a more sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural production. (Manila Bulletin File Photo) The Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Agricu

THE STANDARD ENVIRONMENT Wildebeest at Maasai Mara National game reserve in Narok County. [Kipsang Joseph, Standard] A lone wildebeest gazes at an approaching storm near Ereyiet Oltome village, on the eastern edge of Ol Kinyei Conservancy in Maasai Mara. It seems startled by our vehicle as Simon Nkoitoi, senior warden and manager at the conservancy, responds to a distress call from villagers held hostage by a herd of elephants. In the rush to get away from our intrusion, the animal squeezes itself through a barbed wire fence reinforced with wooden planks. Though empty, the fenced piece of land measuring close to 100 acres is privately-owned. The animals are unknowingly trespassing.

The fact that they also release substances into the soil is probably less well known. And this seems to make the lives of plants a lot easier. That is at least the conclusion of the current study. The participating researchers studied several maize varieties that differ significantly in their yield. In their search for the cause, they came across an enzyme, flavone synthase 2. The high-yield inbred line 787 we studied contains large amounts of this enzyme in its roots , explains Dr. Peng Yu of the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation (INRES) at the University of Bonn. It uses this enzyme to make certain molecules from the flavonoid group and releases t
