BASF Inoculants - The Basics Behind Rhizobia Bacteria

Visit our website to learn more www.agro.basf.com
Seed-applied inoculants contain highly effective rhizobia bacteria that, in a symbiotic relationship with their host legume plant, produce root nodules to increase nitrogen fixation.
Nitrogen is one of three primary plant nutrients critical to yield, and the unique relationship that exists between legumes and rhizobia provides legumes the majority of their nitrogen needs across their entire life cycle. Seed-applied inoculants introduce more productive rhizobia populations than are available in native soil.
To this end, the greater rhizobia availability leads to improved nodulation for greater plant vitality and optimized yield potential. Please ask your BASF representative for more information.

working on a paper, thank you for explaining the process in such detail.

I think Rhizobia Bacteria produce nitric acid in small ammounts... as well as other nitrates, like Nitrous Oxide.
A good way to prove this is to use fractional distillation. I'd probably just take wet soil near the soy, and distill it at temperatures known to be the boiling points of different chemicals. Gasses can be separated based on their freezing/boiling points too, I think.

best explanation thanks

thanks so much

How can rhizobia be affected by soil type? especially on the southern Africa.
