The Important Role Nitrogen Plays in Photosynthesis and Yield Potential

It’s common knowledge that nitrogen is a critical nutrient for crops. But exactly what is nitrogen doing and how does it ultimately impact production?Dr. Fred Below, University of Illinois, shares the latest research on nitrogen’s role in establishing and maintaining the plant’s photosynthetic capacity and yield potential. Learn about management practices that may impact nitrogen availability and uptake and research on ways to improve the availability of nitrogen and phosphorus.

Thank you for the description for the role and importance of nitrogen for plant growth. since nitrogen is high in the atmosphere and microorganisms easily convert N to fix in the soil, why does N always lack in the soil?
