Solution
Rhizobium:
A bacteria called rhizobium is found in soil and aids in the nitrogen fixation process in leguminous plants.
It grows nodules and affixes to the leguminous plant's roots.
Yes, Rhizobium prevents the plant from getting pesticide-resistant as the plants use nitrates of atmospheric nitrogen which is fixed by Rhizobium bacteria.
Rhizobia should be taken into account as a plant disease management alternative to the use of agricultural pesticides.
