Posted 4 August 2010. Crop Management. Dimole Releases a Novel System for Measuring the Biological Activity in Soil Source: Dimole, Inc. Press Release. www.dimole.ca Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (August 2, 2010)--Dimole Inc. has released to the farming industry a novel Multiplex Hybridization System, the 'DIM-ArrayTM Nitrogen Cycle'.
The DIM-ArrayTM Nitrogen Cycle' system measures the effect of agricultural management practices, fertilizer treatments and environmental factors on the quantity and proportion of bacteria involved in key processes of the nitrogen cycle (nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification) in the rhizosphere. Since nitrogen is a key nutrient determining the productivity of agroecosystems, it is of central importance to optimize the nitrogen balance, mainly by steering the genetic resources of soil microbes in a way that losses of applied nitrogen are minimized and biological nitrogen fixation is increased. Plant and grain yields might benefit from reduced nitrogen losses by denitrification and enhanced biological nitrogen fixation.
