However, legume crops stop producing root nodules when the soil has relatively high concentrations of nitrogen and as a result potentially miss out on producing higher yields. Scientists around ...

Nodules on the roots of peas and beans help the plant to secure its own nitrogen, reducing the need for artificial fertiliser. Professor Giles Oldroyd's group is researching how this could be ...

These plants store nitrogen in root nodules, which are bumps on the roots. If legume plants don't have nodules, they have yet to create usable nitrogen for your citrus tree. It can take up to six ...
