Soybean rhizobia (Latin name: Bradyrhizobium japonicum) are in the family bradyrhizobiaceae, the genus of soybean rhizobia. Rhizobia in soybean are live microbial agents rhizobia inside root nodules have mutually beneficial symbioses with legumes: organic matter that legumes make by photosynthesis, supplied in part to rhizobia; Rhizobia, which make ammonia through biological nitrogen fixation, then feed legumes. Rhizobium invades the roots of the host, stimulating some cells of the root cortex and the central column sheath, causing the strong growth of these cells, causing local enlargement of the roots to form nodules; Rhizobium settles in the roots, and plants supply Rhizobium with mineral nutrients and energy Rhizobium fixes the free nitrogen in the atmosphere and provides nitrogen nutrients for the plants. The two are in equilibrium in the antagonistic parasitic relationship and exhibit symbiosis. Rhizobia belong to symbiotic nitrogen fixation, nitrogen fixation efficiency is the highestBenefits Increase production and efficiencyAccording to the field demonstration results, the application of rhizobia in soybean can increase the soybean yield by more than 10%, the protein content of soybean can be increased by 2%, the crude fat content can be increased by 1-2%...

Strigolactones are a family of plant secondary metabolites whose first member strigol was isolated in 1966 from the root exudates of cotton and identified as the germination inducer for the parasitic weeds of Striga and Orobanchae species, so that suicidal germination of parasitic weeds controls the weed pests. Strigolactones are also shown to inhibit shoot branching and act as the key phytohormone influencing plant architecture. Rac-GR24 (Strigolactones) is currently found to have the following effects: 1. As an environmental stimulus signal: can induce weed seed germination, for example: column when such parasitic weeds. 2...

In the process of laser cladding, a metal coating is applied to a part's surface while a laser serves as the heat source. The procedure is frequently used to repair damaged or worn surfaces and produce a protective covering for greater functionality. Either a wire (including hot or cold wire) or powder feedstock can be used for Laser Cladding System. The wire or powder is simultaneously added to a molten pool that the laser creates on the workpiece's surface. Despite the laser's tremendous heat output, solidification and cooling times are quick due to the laser's short exposure time...
