Nature Brain: How can bacteria help farmers?

Description

In the soil beneath farm fields, special bacteria called "rhizobia" can deliver nutrients to plants like soybeans, peas and other legumes. But that's not the only way they could save farmers money. Kim Komatsu hosts this episode of Nature Brain, the videos that deliver weird and surprising science to your brain in 2 minutes or less. Produced by the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (https://serc.si.edu).
