Rhizobium bacteria are found in the root nodules of leguminous plants (soybean and other leguminous crops), which is helpful in increasing the yield of the crop by stabilizing atmospheric nitrogen. Rhizobium is a biofertilizer used in pulse crops.
Benefits of using Rhizobium in soybean crop –
-
Rhizobium bacteria fix the nitrogen present in the environment and reach the roots of plants. Therefore, it reduces the need of chemical fertilizers in pulse crops.
-
The use of Rhizobium has increased the yield of soybean by several percent. The use of Rhizobium increases the amount of nitrogen in the soil and maintains fertility.
-
The nitrogen accumulated by the bacteria present in the roots of soybean is absorbed by the next crop. The nitrogen stored by Rhizobium is completely available to the plants due to it being in organic form.
