FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology
What is the significance of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root zone?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are crucial in the root zone because they convert atmospheric nitrogen, which plants cannot use, into ammonia, a form that plants can readily assimilate. This process is especially important because nitrogen is a critical component of proteins, nucleic acids, and other cellular constituents necessary for plant growth.
By ensuring a constant supply of nitrogen, these bacteria enhance plant health and growth, particularly in nitrogen-poor soils.
