Legumes thrive in low-nitrogen environments by partnering with rhizobia, soil bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are ...

Leguminous plants have a mechanism (rhizobial symbiosis) to efficiently acquire nitrogen, which is an essential macronutrient for growth, through the nitrogen-fixing bacteria rhizobia. Root ...

Mycorrhizae (from the Greek words for fungus and root) is a general term describing a symbiotic relationship between a soil fungus and plant root. Unlike rhizobia and their legume partners ...

Farmers growing leguminous crops, the hosts for the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria, can and should improve nitrogen by inoculating their legume crops with more of the bacteria. Grasslands ...
