Methane-derived microbial biostimulant reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves rice yield
The reduction in GHG emission and enhanced yield observed under both recommended and reduced N conditions demonstrated that the methane-derived biostimulant can play a unique and necessary role in the paddy ecosystem. The consistent improvements seen across different field trials established that the methane-derived microbial biostimulant could be a scalable solution to intensify rice productivity with a lower GHG footprint, thus creating a win-win-win solution for farmers, customers, and the environment.
