RHIZOBIUM BACTERIA (NITROGEN FIXING BACTERIA)
About Rhizobium Bacteria (Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria)
Rhizobium Bacteria is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium offered by Pioneer Agro. It plays a vital role in fixing atmospheric nitrogen and improving soil fertility, promoting healthy root growth and enhancing overall plant vigor.
Technical Details
- Technical Content: Rhizobium bacteria are Gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating rods essential for nitrogen fixation.
- Mode of Action: These bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with leguminous plants by colonizing root hairs and inducing root nodule formation. Inside these nodules, they convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3) using the nitrogenase enzyme.
Key Features & Benefits
- Provides essential nitrogen nutrient for robust plant growth and development.
- Enriches soil fertility naturally by increasing nitrogen content.
