Bacteria are widely used in sugar cane production, as well as with other crops, where they help to break down organic matter in the soil to make vital nutrients available to the growing plants or turn nitrogen from the air into nitrogen compounds that are essential for growth (so-called biological nitrogen fixation).
The results can be very variable, which is unsurprising given the complexity of biological processes in and around the plant root. This variability means that the success of bac
