Question

How do the Rhizobium organisms act as bio-fertilisers? Explain.

Answer in Brief

Solution

Rhizobium bacteria create symbiotic partnerships with leguminous plants and fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodules. This adds nitrogen to the soil, increasing plant growth and fertility. Rhizobium functions as a bio-fertiliser by facilitating nitrogen fixation in legumes, lowering the demand for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and promoting sustainable agriculture.
