Small quantities of glucose have the effect of accelerating the removal of available N (NH4 +, NO3 −) through incorporation into the bodies of microorganisms. This reduces plant growth (Jenkinson, 1985), the rate of which depends largely on the presence of available N (Addiscott et al., 1991). However, in theory, if appropriate soil glucose concentrations are maintained, asymbiotic N2-fixation will occur, supplying extra nitrogen nutrition to plants over an extended period. Here, it is demonstrated that the use of 0.028 M glucose and an appropriate source of N2-fixing bacteria (green waste-derived compost) can result in increased grass dry matter yields of over 50% in a glasshouse experiment.
