Nitrongen Fixer

These Nitrongen Fixer is capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen for the plant. It has an associative symbiotic relation with graminaceous plants thereby making available atmospheric nitrogen (30-50% of N requirement) to the various crops. It secretes ammonia in the rhizosphere in the presence of root exudates, which helps nutrient uptake by plants, thereby improving yield up to 25%.
Nitrongen Fixer has the ability to synthesize auxins, cytokinines,vitamins, growth promoting substances and certain secretions that help it to enhance its dominance in thevicinity of its growth. Eg. Thiamin, Riboflavin, Indole Acetic acid, Gibberellins, Nicotinic acid and Vitamin B.
Its nitrogen fixing activity continues even after the existing sources of nitrogen have been exhausted. It imparts resistance against plant pathogens such as Alternaria, Fusarium and Helminthosporium. N-Fix cells, on dying, mineralize cell proteins in soil, thereby contributing towards the nitrogen available for the crop.
