What are two advantage of legume crops?
They have nodules on the roots which has nitrogen fixing bacteria
If you want to find a root nodule you would have to look for a plant that was a?
Legume plant. Root nodules are formed on the roots of legume plants through a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These nodules house the bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plant can use for growth.
How the legume crop increase the soil fertility?
Legume crops have the ability to form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules. These bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, leading to increased nitrogen levels in the soil. When legume plants decompose, they release nutrients back into the soil, further enhancing soil fertility.
What type of plant that has bacteria living with it that can convert to nitrogen?
Legume plants have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. These bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plants can use for growth, which benefits both the plant and the bacteria. Examples of legume plants include peas, beans, and clover.
The relationship between legume plants and bacteria that helps the nitrogen cycle is called?
nitreu
What relationship exists between the bacteria in the soil and legume root in nitrogen fixation?
Gass
Where do nitrogen fixing bacteria that have a symbiotic relationship with legumes live?
Legume plants are notable for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, thanks to a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria known as rhizobia found in root nodules of these plants. The ability to form this symbiosis reduces fertilizer costs for farmers and gardeners who grow legumes, and allows legumes to be used in a crop rotation to replenish soil that has been depleted of nitrogen. The nitrogen fixation ability of legumes is enhanced by the availability of calcium in the soil and reduced by the presence of ample nitrogen. Root nodules. via Wikipedia
How do plants get nitrogen from the soil?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in nodules on plant roots (legume plants; beans, peas, alfalfa) convert nitrogen in the air (ammonia) to nitrites then nitrates which is then absorbed by plants through their roots.
What is the purpose of legume nodules?
They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
What crop can replace nitrogen in soil so it will retain its fertility?
Generally leguminous plants i.e.,plants of Family Fabaceae have root nodules inhabited by nitrogen fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium leguminosarum,which retains and increases the nitrogen content in the soil.
What two kinds of plants have nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots?
Legumes do. Peas are a good example.
How do legumes contribute to the nitrogen cycle?
They absorb nitrogen from the air. Then nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert it to a useable form.
