Harnessing Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture
Rhizobium
Harnessing Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture
A highly efficient nitrogen-fixing bio-fertilizer that forms a symbiotic association with leguminous crops, improving nitrogen availability, soil fertility, and crop productivity.
Rhizobium is a beneficial bio-fertilizer containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria that establish a symbiotic relationship with the roots of leguminous plants. It forms root nodules that convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms, promoting healthy growth, reducing nitrogen fertilizer requirements, and improving soil fertility.
| Product Type | Bio-Fertilizer |
|---|---|
| Microorganism | Rhizobium spp. |
| Formulation | Liquid |
| Application | Seed Treatment, Root Dip & Soil Application |
Rhizobium bacteria infect the roots of leguminous plants and form nodules where atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ammonia, a form readily utilized by plants. This natural process improves nitrogen nutrition and supports healthy crop growth.
Chickpea, Pigeon Pea, Green Gram, Black Gram, Soybean, Groundnut, Pea, Lentil, Cowpea, Cluster Bean, French Bean and all leguminous crops.
