Synopsis

This book explores the symbiotic relationship between the tropical Leguminosae family and nitrogen-xing bacteria, which allows the plants to thrive in nitrogen-poor soils. The author provides a detailed account of the historical and scientic discoveries that led to the understanding of this process, tracing the theories and research from early observations to the groundbreaking work of Hellriegel and Wilfarth. The book delves into the nature and formation of root nodules in Leguminosae, examining their role in nitrogen assimilation and plant growth. It discusses the practical applications of this knowledge in agriculture, including the use of Leguminosae as cover crops and their potential for increasing soil fertility. The author presents a comprehensive overview of the topic, offering valuable insights into the complex biological processes that underpin the Leguminosae's unique ability to x atmospheric nitrogen. This book serves as an essential resource for agriculturalists, botanists, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of plant-microbe interactions.
