Chunks of information
- Root nodules of the fava plant or broad bean. Each of these nodules contains billions of Rhizobia bacteria that live in symbiotic relationship to Fabaceae or the legume family (beans, peas). These bacteria fix nitrogen that is in the air and give it to the plant or remain in the soil for a next crop. They grow in healthy soils and reduce the need for fertilizing the soil.
