Rhizobium Bacteria

The active ingredient in this fertilizer is rhizobium bacteria. Rhizobium requires a plant host as they cannot independently fix nitrogen. Nitrogen is a primary nutrient for all green plants, but it must be modified before it can be readily utilized by most living systems. Nitrogen fixation is a complex process, which is carried out by nitrogen fixing bacteria present in the soil.

Rhizobium fixes atmospheric nitrogen only in the root nodules of legumes. These bacterial cells multiply and colonize inside the plant roots. Then they become dormant cells called bacteroid. These bacteroids are capable of N2 fixation. The bacteria obtain their nutrients and source of energy from the plant and in turn fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plant.
