Benefits
Rhizobium fixes Nitrogen in the nodules, Increases root growth, Mycorrhizal fungi produce hyphae that penetrate root cells to produce exchange structures, Mycorrhizal fungi produce hyphae that extend into the soil and increase absorptive capacity for water and mineral nutrients (P, Cu, Zn), Mycorrhizal fungi improve the plant’s absorption capabilities by transferring directly to root via mycorrhizal network, Active rhizosphere: 5cm, Increases yield, Increases crop quality, Increases tolerance to drought, Optimizes fertilizer use.
Research
The mycorrhizae and rhizobium pairing lets chickpeas fix more nitrogen and reach more phosphorus for a stronger finish.
