No, it is not a nitrogen fixer.
Clove is a member of the Myrtle family, and is therefore a dicot.
Nitrogen is supplied to the leguminous plant in the nodules found on its roots. This nitrogen-fixing process is carried out by bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with the plant, converting nitrogen from the air into a form that the plant can use for growth.
The relationship between plants and bacteria in root nodules is symbiotic. The plant provides the bacteria with sugars, while the bacteria, often rhizobia, convert nitrogen gas into a form that the plant can use for growth. This process, known as nitrogen fixation, benefits both the plant and the bacteria.
Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant growth and is commonly found in fertilizers to support healthy plant development.
Plant cells absorb nitrogen from the soil in the form of nitrate (NO3-) or ammonium (NH4+). These forms of nitrogen are taken up by the plant roots and then transported to different parts of the plant for protein synthesis and other essential physiological processes.
Its a biological nitrogen fixer.
No. Plants that belong to the family Leguminosae (legumes) are nitrogen fixers. Peas and beans are examples.
clove
Clove is a member of the Myrtle family, and is therefore a dicot.
Clove oil is an essential oil from the clove plant. It is a natural antiseptic used primary in dentistry. It can be purchased in the pharmacy as a home remedy.
in the following page: http://www.gardenguides.com/plants/plant.asp?symbol=CASP8 we can see "Nitrogen Fixation: Low". with a low ratio of fixation, Catalpa is not considered a Nitrogen Fixing plant.
The "clove" used as a spice (in pickling, etc.) is the dried flower bud of a tropical tree.
One of the products made out of clove trees is clove oil for pest control. Other products made of this plant are Kretek cigarettes, and acid washer vats.
The scientific name for clove is Syzygium aromaticum. Clove belongs to the plant family Myrtaceae.
because the nitrogen helps the plant grow
People put nitrogen in fertilizers because nitrogen in the form of ammonium nitrogen is essential for a plant's growth.
