The ecology of microorganisms: their relationship with one another and with their environment.

Naturally occurring microbes, including yeasts, fungi and bacteria, that are used by farmers to increase crop health and productivity.

The process of adding diluted chemical or biological solutions directly to the base of the plants to provide targeted, deep penetration.

A technique of feeding plants by applying liquid nutrients directly to their leaves.

Cleantech firms seek to increase performance, productivity and efficiency by minimizing negative effects on the environment.

Any of certain economically important single-celled fungi (kingdom Fungi), most of which are in the phylum Ascomycota, only a few being Basidiomycota. Yeasts are found worldwide in soils and on plant surfaces and are especially abundant in sugary mediums such as flower nectar and fruits. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/652395/yeast

Bacteria are single-celled microbes. The cell structure is simpler than that of other organisms, as there is no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria are found in every habitat on Earth: soil, rock, oceans and even arctic snow. Some live in or on other organisms, including plants and animals, including humans. http://www.microbiologyonline [..]

Biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. It most often refers to plants or plant-based materials, which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass.

The chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.
