The efficiency of fertilizing N on oil palm plants on peatlands in several companies is done by planting legume cover crop, one of which is Mucuna bracteata. This plant can form root nodules because it can symbiosis with rhizobium bacteria which will make fixation of N2 in the air so that the bound N elements can be utilized by plants. This bacterium grows naturally on legume cover crop. This study aims to explore and characterize adaptive rhizobium bacteria in peatlands. The location of sampling is done at PT. Jatimjaya Perkasa, Kubu District, Rokan Hilir Regency. Sampling of root nodules by stratified random sampling. The results obtained by eight bacterial isolates that have relatively similar macroscopic and microscopic characteristics and belong to rhizobium based on the YEMA + CR and YEMA + BTB tests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
