dc.description.abstract | A global network of Microbiological Resources Centres (MIRCENs) , set up by Unesco,
includes five centres concerned with biological nitrogen fixation. These centres are
Kenya, Brazil, the United States and Senegal-train experts in the methods of Rhizobium
inoculation, which when applied to certain leguminous plants can often avert the need to
use expensive chemical nitrogen fertilizers in food crop production. The MIRCENs
constitute an excellent example of international co-operation in science. | en |
