Fuck you, learn something.

Real talk though, this is a super weird variety of corn. It fixes its own nitrogen, whereas normal corn doesn’t and requires constant input or rotational cropping (commonly corn-soy rotation as soy fixes N).

    It’s also a myth. Corn doesn’t have the biochemical pathway. It does however produce exudates from the roots that promote nitrogen fixing bacterial in some environments.

    In most environments applying these bacteria does jack shit.

        Interesting.

        The Sierra Mixe corn takes eight months to mature—too long to make it commercially useful

        Why?
