Why don't legumes need nitrogen-containing fertilizers?
Legumes "fix" nitrogen in nodules on their roots, so they do not need additional nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
Why don't legumes need nitrogen-containing fertillizers?
Legumes "fix" nitrogen in nodules on their roots, so they do not need additional nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
Why is nitrogen not added in soil which leguminous plants are grown?
Legumes "fix" nitrogen in nodules on their roots, so they do not need additional nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
Soya beans don't need nitrogen fertilizer?
All the bean family -the legumes- have symbiotic bacteria that live in nodules in the roots. These bacteria have the ability to take nitrogen out of the air and convert it into nitrogen chemicals that the plants can use - they are called nitrogen fixing bacteria-. Legumes therefore do not need added fertilizers to flourish.
Why is nitrogenous fertilizer not added in soil in which leguminous plants are grown?
Because leguminous plants are capable of fixing free nitrogen from the air with help of their root nodules. Thus soil get rich in nitrates in those places where these plants are grown.
Where in the roots of the legumes does Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live?
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the root nodules of legumes.
What has the author Albert Lemuel Whiting written?
Albert Lemuel Whiting has written: 'A biochemical study of nitrogen in certain legumes' -- subject(s): Legumes, Nitrogen, Legumes.
Why do farmers add nitrgoen fertilizers but not carbon fertilizers to fields?
Because all plants are able to extract plenty of carbon dioxide from the air, which gives them plenty of carbon. Nitrogen has to be in a form usable to the plant, which only symbiotic bacteria on the roots of legumes are able to take out of the air.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in these structures found in the roots of legumes?
what is nitrogen fixing bacteria live in these structures found in the roots of legumes
What plant family restores nitrogen to the soil?
Legumes are the plant family that restores nitrogen to the soil. Most of legumes have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules.
Plants which assist in nitrogen fixation are?
Legumes
Where you can find nitrogen from your surrounding?
It exists naturally in air, many foods (proteins, legumes, etc.), and soil. Nitrogen compounds such as ammonia, nitric acid, nitrates, and nitrides are used to make fertilizers and other chemical products. Its chemical symbol is N, and atomic weight is 7.
