Nondestructive Detection of Frankia in Alnus glutinosa With NIR Spectroscopy

ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) is essential for plant growth, yet excessive fertilizer use contributes to environmental degradation. Actinorhizal trees like Alnus glutinosa form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen‐fixing bacteria of the genus Frankia, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. However, di...
