The function of rhizobium bacteria in the leguminous crop is nitrogen fixation.
Explanation:
- The rhizobium bacteria is the bacteria which enters the plant's roots of legumes through the hairs of the root which forms the nodules by the infection which is caused in the roots.
- This rhizobium bacteria plays the main role in the nitrogen fixation in the leguminous plants by absorbing the nitrogen which presents in the atmosphere and converting it into ammonia which acts as a natural fertilizer.
- It also monitors drought stress, salt stress, and nutrient deficiency.
- This process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia is carried out with the help of an enzyme called nitrogenase.
- It also increases the fertility and productivity of the soil.
