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. BENEFITS Crops grow with vigour and remain free of diseases Natural rich and consolidated source of nitrogen, phosphorus and other essential nutrients to the plants Acts as stress reliever for plants of all types Helps in growth of white roots Extremely effective in enhancing overall productivity of the soil Fixes atmospheric nitrogen which is renewable source of energy Nitrogen fixed is immediately available to the plants Stimulates growth and produces green color characteristics of a healthy plant Increases protein percentage Increases yield from 10%-20% Improves the quality of produce and thus fetches good price.
