One of the most important microorganisms in the agricultural system, Rhizobium Brady sp. biologically fixes atmospheric nitrogen by establishing a symbiotic interaction with legumes or other host crops. Rhizobium Brady sp. forms root nodules on the plant root, within which the bacteria can convert and store atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, source of nitrogen for plant.
Advantages
- Helps fixing atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia
- Enhances plant growth
- Increasing soil productivity and soil fertility
