A team of SCELSE-National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers, led by A/Prof Sanjay Swarup, has identified almost 300 species of micro-organisms that grow together with common Asian vegetables. This is the first step towards helping high-tech urban farmers produce more crops with less chemical fertilisers.
