Abstract

Rhizobium species are group of bacteria that fixes atmospheric nitrogen symbiotically in leguminous plants such as soybean and urid beans. The present paper gives an idea of the height and nitrogen content of the selected plants. The study is important as Marathwada region is an area with uncertain range and drought.The study includes identification of nitrogen fixing Bacteria i.e Rhizobium strains only, further investigation of identification of species is under way.

Keywords: Rhizobium, Nitrogen content, Plants, Marathwada.
