Question

Write about the important role of Rhizobium bacteria in agriculture.
can you tell

Answer 1

Answer:

Rhizobium is a bacterium found in soil that helps in fixing nitrogen in leguminous plants. It attaches to the roots of the leguminous plant and produces nodules. These nodules fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into ammonia that can be used by the plant for its growth and development. Soil bacteria belonging to the genus Rhizobium induce symbiotic nitrogen-fixing nodules on the root of their leguminous host plants. This bacterium-plant interaction is highly specific.
