Microbes in the soil can help legumes grow better by providing essential nutrients. Some bacteria and fungi can form partnerships with legumes, boosting their health and nutrient uptake. These beneficial microbes can replace chemical fertilizers and improve plant growth. By using commercial microbial products in the field, farmers can enhance the growth and yield of legumes. The type of plant, the quality of the microbial product, and the formulation of the inoculant all play a role in its effectiveness.
