Abstract: Abstract: A method for reducing variation in whole plant nitrogen includes providing, to a locus,a plurality of crop plants and a plurality of nitrogen fixing microbes that colonize the rhizosphere of said plurality of crop plants and supply the plants with fixed N. The variation in whole plant nitrogen of the plurality of crop plants colonized by said nitrogen fixing microbes, at a given growth stage and as measured across the locus, is lower than a variation in whole plant nitrogen of a control plurality of crop plants, when the control plurality of crop plants is provided to the locus.

Abstract: Bimodal high-density polyethylene polymer compositions with increased high melt strength and good processability. The compositions comprise a base resin having a density of about 945 kg/m3 to about 955 kg/m3, and an ethylene polymer (A) having a density of at least about 968 kg/m3, in an amount ranging from 45% to 55% by weight and an ethylene polymer (B) having a density lower than the density of polymer (A). The composition has a complex viscosity at a shear rate of 0.01 rad/s ranging from about 200 to 450 kPa·s and a complex viscosity at a shear rate of 100 rad/s ranging from about 1900 to 2500 Pa·s. Articles made from these compositions, such as pipes and fittings achieve long-term oxidative resistance and have a low wall thickness variability while maintaining high production output.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides farmers a new platform for supplying nitrogen to their crops, which is based upon sustainable, biologically fixed nitrogen. The taught platform enables improved yield consistency across all cultivated acreage, irrespective of: weather, environment, or soil conditions. As a result of the increased yield consistency enabled by the taught disclosure, farmers have an increased degree of predictability for yield across each acre they plant, which was not possible with the synthetic nitrogen delivery paradigm of years past.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides non-intergeneric remodeled microbes that are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen and deliver such to plants in a targeted, efficient, and environmentally sustainable manner. The utilization of the taught microbial products will enable farmers to realize more productive and predictable crop yields without the nutrient degradation, leaching, or toxic runoff associated with traditional synthetically derived nitrogen fertilizer, by mitigating or eliminating the need for exogenous nitrogen-containing fertilizers. The remodeled microbes have unique colonization and nitrogen fixation abilities, which enable the microbes to deliver nitrogen to a cereal plant in a spatially targeted (e.g. rhizospheric) and temporally targeted (e.g. during advantageous stages of plants life cycle) manner. The microbes are able to replace the standard agricultural practice of sidedressing and enable a more environmentally sustainable form of farming.

Abstract: A method of improving the yield and vigor of agronomic plants, in particular leguminous plants such as soybeans, involves treating such plants and/or the propagation material of plants with a composition that includes an active agent, such as a fungicide, that has no significant activity against fungal plant pathogens of the treated plant. When the plant is not wheat, a preferred agent of this type is 4,5-dimethyl-N-(2-propenyl)-2-(trimethylsilyl)-3-thiophenecarboxamide (silthiofam). Plants and plant propagation material, such as seeds, that have been treated by the novel method are also described.
