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 ...

Peas thrive in well-drained soil and full sun. As they grow, they form a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria in the soil, which help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form the plants ...

Soybeans fix nitrogen, everyone knows that, but did you know soil bacteria are key partners in the process? Rhizobia, the soil bacteria in question, form a symbiotic relationship with the soybeans ...

Soil microbes known as rhizobia supply much-needed nitrogen to legumes such as clover (Trifolium species). In return, legumes shelter the rhizobia in nodules on their roots and provide them with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Head of the Chemistry and Soil Research Institute (CRSI), Mr Emmanuel Chikwari, yesterday said they were on high alert to curb the sale of fake rhizobium sachets and urged farmers to buy from ...
