Description

Rhizobium is a beneficial nitrogen fixing biofertilizer containing live bacteria that form symbiotic associations with the roots of leguminous crops. It converts atmospheric nitrogen into plant available forms, reducing the dependence on chemical nitrogen fertilizers while improving soil fertility and crop productivity. It is an eco-friendly solution suitable for organic and sustainable farming.

Rhizobium infects the roots of leguminous plants, forming root nodules where nitrogen fixation occurs. Inside these nodules, Rhizobium converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which is then utilized by the plant. This symbiotic relationship enhances plant growth and yield.
