Rhizobium is the symbiotic nitrogen fixer which assimilates atmospheric nitrogen and fixes in the root nodules of the leguminous plants. It adheres on the surface of root and enters through the root hair. Inside the cortical cells it forms symbionts and fix nitrogen. The enzyme will reduce the atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia which is readily utilized by the plant. Rhizobium can fix 200-300kgs N/ha in one crop season and can leave behind substantial quantities of about 20-30kgs Na/ha for the succeeding crops. It can increase yield upto 10-35%. It enhances the soil fertility growth of the plant and germination of seeds.
