Document Summary
Rich in starch and good source of dietary bre. Good for places that don"t have a lot of meat. Rhizobia invade the roots of regimes soon after the plant germinated and multiple to form nodules. Rhizobium- legumes form a symbiotic relationship with bacteria. Carnage is a shrub that grown in the prairies that does nitrogen xation. The atmosphere contains about 78% nitrogen which is unavailable to plants. Leghemoglobin - bonds oxygen so the plant can take it in. Convert gaseous n to nitrate which plants can use. If bacteria are working properly the modules will be a pink red colour. **different species of rhizobium work with different crops, they are quite speci c. Various strains for different species of legumes. The amount of rhizobium in the soil may not be enough for the new plant to signal the rhizobium to active it to grow thats why you are supposed to add it in with your seed.
