Rhizobium. Fixatrices d’azote atmosphérique, ces bactéries se développent sur les racines et forment des nodules(nodosités), visibles chez de nombreuses légumineuses. Elles fournissent ainsi de l'azote organique aux plantes hôtes, qui le fixent au niveau de leurs organes aériens et souterrains. L'introduction d’une légumineuse ayant des rhizobiums actifs dans l'assolement permet d’enrichir en azote les sols cultivés. Dans ceux qui sont dépourvus de rhizobiums, on peut inoculer ces bactéries de façon à accroître la productivité de la légumineuse. 2, record 8, French, - inoculum%20de%20rhizobiums
