Cornell Scientists Engineer Tomatoes That Change Color with Nitrogen Levels

Scientists at Cornell University have engineered tomatoes that turn red-purple when nitrogen levels are low. They are currently testing these tomatoes to evaluate their effectiveness in indicating nitrogen deficiency. This innovation aims to help farmers monitor soil nutrient levels more easily and optimize fertilizer use, potentially improving crop management and sustainability.
