Plants take up inorganic nitrogen, either as atmospheric Nj, through symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes such as pulses, some shrubs and trees.

The main disadvantages of intercropping are competition between crops possible damage of the other crop during the harvest of one crop component complication of mechanization and cultivation decrease of symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes caused by plant competition for resources (Soon et al. 2004).

Advances are also being made in the more complex area of the molecular biology of symbiotic nitrogen fixation.1469 Genes in Rhizobia involved in recognition, infection and nodulation have been identified, while some progress has been made with the plant genes and proteins involved in the development of root nodules. 

Research on BNF almost ceased during the first World War and, even before 1914, its focus had shifted from Europe to America. All movements have their scriptures for BNF the Old Testament was Fred, Baldwin and McCoy s The Root Nodule Bacteria and Leguminous Plants (1932), and the New Testament, P. W. Wilson s The Biochemistry of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation (1940) both published by the University of Wisconsin Press in Madison.

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation results from a mutualistic partnership between bacteria belonging to the genus Rhizobium and leguminous plants such as peas, beans, alfalfa, clover and lupine.
