The objective of this project is to use emerging genomics technologies to identify and characterize soil bacteria that allow the replacement of current agricultural fertilisers, which have significant environmental and economic disadvantages, with sustainable biological fertilisers. Soil bacteria can greatly enhance phosphate solubilization and hence availability for plant growth. Beneficial microbes will be identified from our existing soil collection and their performance and persistence optimised. Concurrently, our industry partners will develop suitable microbial formulations for application. The outcomes of the project will be the use of biological fertilisers to enhance crop productivity in an environmentally sustainable manner.

该项目的目标是利用新兴的基因组学技术来识别和表征土壤细菌，使其能够用可持续的生物肥料取代具有重大环境和经济劣势的现有农业化肥。土壤细菌能极大地促进磷的溶解，从而提高植物生长的有效性。我们将从我们现有的土壤收集中识别出有益的微生物，并优化它们的性能和持久性。同时，我们的行业合作伙伴将开发适用于应用的微生物配方。该项目的成果将是使用生物肥料以环境可持续的方式提高作物生产力。
