Many plants thrive on nitrates, however if they are reduced to nitrogen gas, then the available nitrogen is reduced and the plants don't do as well. This is why a good deal of fertilizers that farmers put on their fields are chock-full of nitrates.

Harmful. Plants need nitrates to live. If nitrates are reduced to NO or N2, there is less available NO3 for the plants.

Would nitrate reduction occur more often in the presence or absence of a molecular oxygen?
Nitrate reduction occurs in some facultative anarobes, nitrate is used as a terminal electron acceptor under (anaerobic) conditions, this carries off nitrate respiration. So in other words nitrate reduction does not happen in the precense of oxygen because then oxygen would be used instead of nitrogen as an electron acceptor.
Why is gas production not recognized as nitrate reduction when the organism is known fermenter?
Gas produced in a nitrate reduction test by an organism capable of the gas is unknown.
How does nitrate affect plant growth?
nitrate helps increase plant growth. Nitrate helps build protein in the plant which makes plants grow. Nitrate is found in fertilisers, which farmers place on their crops to make them grow. So yes, nitrate affects plant growth but in a good way!
Why do some farmers put ammonium nitrate on there farmland?
because plants need nitrogen to make proteins
Is potassium nitrate or saltpetre considered a natural food preservative?
According to Wikipedia, in the process of food preservation, potassium nitrate is a common ingredient of salted meat, but there are theories indicating that using nitrates in meats can cause cancer. As a preservative it can be known as E252. I am unsure about potassium nitrate, but sodium nitrate has been marked as something we should avoid, but it actually has beneficial properties despite what some "studies" say, it in moderate does is nothing to fear, but instead may be beneficial. Potassium nitrate is still a mystery to me though, i plan to look into though eventually.
