Primes

• Preparatory Field Conditioning
  • In all of them the seed is unmodified and the seedbed is the object of the work.

    This sourceStandard reference covering liming to shift soil pH over months, fallowing and tillage to alter organic matter and tilth, and mulching to raise soil temperature -- all treatments applied to the seedbed rather than to the crop.

Domain-specific

• Nitrogen Cycle
  • Nitrification oxidises ammonia to nitrite then nitrate, carried out by chemolithotrophic bacteria (Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter, or the more recently characterised ammonia-oxidising archaea); nitrate is the form most available for plant uptake in aerobic soils

    This sourceSoils-textbook account of nitrification as the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite by Nitrosomonas and of nitrite to nitrate by Nitrobacter, the enzymatic oxidation releasing energy.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
