DOI: ENHANCING RHIZOBIAL IMMUNITY THROUGH GREEN MANURE: AN IMPROVED INOCULATED TECHNIQUE FOR ORGANIC FERTILIZER PROCESSING
Dr. Meena Sisodia , Department of Zoology the Graduate School College for Women, Jamshedpur, Kolhan University, Chaibasa, IndiaAbstract
Rhizobia are beneficial bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with leguminous plants, facilitating nitrogen fixation and promoting plant growth. However, the effectiveness of rhizobial inoculation can be compromised during organic fertilizer processing. This study explores an improved inoculated technique using green manure to enhance rhizobial immunity and ensure optimal nitrogen fixation in legume crops. The research investigates the effects of different green manure materials on rhizobial survival and nodulation efficiency. The results demonstrate that incorporating specific green manure crops, such as clover or vetch, into the organic fertilizer processing enhances the rhizobial immunity, increasing their survival and nodulation potential. This approach offers a sustainable and eco-friendly method for improving nitrogen fixation in organic farming systems, contributing to enhanced plant growth, soil fertility, and agricultural productivity.
