Legumes fail to develop nodule as soil having pH of
A. > 5
B. < 5
C. < 5.5
D. None of the above
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Legumes fail to develop nodules as the soil has a pH of < 5.Legumes can form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called rhizobia.
At low pH (<5), dry matter production, seed yield and nitrogen fixation were significantly lower than at higher pH levels. Low pH delayed the development of nitrogenase activity.
