BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-/-/EN BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Hertfordshire Local Section: Bacteria: Plants’ little helpers, by Susan Mosquito, PhD UID:354 DESCRIPTION: \n\nLike animals, plants are complex organisms that live alongside microbes from the soil, air or water.\n\nThese microbes associated with plants form the “plant microbiota” which includes several thousands of species of bacteria and fungi.\n\nThe bacteria associated with plants can be beneficial for the plant development. Bacteria can help the plant to get nutrients, promote plant growth, resist stressful environmental conditions and to fight against diseases. One use of these bacteria is as biofertilizers. These are plant fertilizers containing microbes, which can be applied in farming crops.\n\n \n\nThe speaker will be Susan Mosquito, postdoctoral researcher at Rothamsted Research.\n\n \n\nTo join the event via Microsoft Teams please CLICK HERE\n\n \n\n \n\n DTSTART:20231025T180000Z DTEND:20231025T193000Z LOCATION:Online, joining details on Hertfordshire Section web page (Microsoft Teams Link) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
