No robust evidence suggests that inoculation of cereals with bacteria leads to fixation of agronomically significant quantities of dinitrogen gas (N₂) from the atmosphere.

It is with profound sadness that we share the news that our colleague, friend and Head of Knowledge Exchange Dr Simon Bowen passed away on Sunday 10th March.
He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
