Abstract
Nitrogen fixation is a key biological process by which atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is converted into a form available to plants, such as ammonia (NH3), which is of great importance for sustainable agriculture. The aim of this paper is to show different aspects of nitrogen fixation, with special reference to the influence of seed inoculation and genotypic differences on the efficiency of symbiotic fixation, morphological characteristics and plant yield. Based on numerous scientific studies, it was determined that the application of microbiological preparations (e.g. Nitragin) can contribute to more efficient nitrogen fixation and a higher plant yield, while the excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers reduces the number of root nodules and negatively affects the activity of nodule bacteria. The genotype of the plant proved to be an important factor in realizing the maximum potential for nitrogen fixation. The results confirm the importance of proper application of agrotechnical measures in the function of economically profitable and ecologically sustainable plant production.
