Monitoring pulse nodulation

All pulse plants require healthy root systems in order to maximise growth and yield. Healthy nodulation of pulse roots is particularly important if plants are to maximise nitrogen fixation and therefore plant growth. Healthy nodules need to be present on both the taproot and lateral roots. A healthy nitrogen fixing nodule is pink inside. Grey or green nodules do not fix nitrogen.
