Explain nitrogen fixation process?

Open in App

Solution

Plants cannot take nitrogen directly from the air. The nitrogen is converted into a usable form such as nitrates and nitrites for plants. These nitrites and nitrates are added to the plants as fertilizers and plants absorb the nitrogen in the form of nitrites and nitrates from soil. This process is called nitrogen fixation.
