Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
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.
