Question

how is Rhizobium important for legminous plants ?

Answer 1

Rhizobium lives in the root of leguminous plants. here they help in nitrogen fixation. So they are also called as nitrogen fixating bacteria. Thus they maintain nitrogen cycle.

Answer 2

Firstly what is Rhizobium bacteria

Rhizobia is "the group of soil bacteria that infect the roots of legumes to form root nodules". Rhizobia are found in the soil and after infection, produce nodules in the legume where they fix nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere turning it into a more readily useful form of nitrogen.

Now how is Rhizobium important for legminous plants

Bacteria instead of chemicals. Rhizobia have the capacity to fix nitrogen (N2) from the atmosphere. These bacteria live either freely in the soil or in beneficial association with leguminous plants, including important crops such as peas, beans and soybeans.
