Introduction: Plants adapt to various soil composition. The growth of plants is highly affected in plants deficient of essential macronutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is an essential component for photosynthesis. It forms the basic element in the structure of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Nitrogen uptake by plants is either in the form of ammonium ions or as nitrate from the soil or by using the nitrogen fixing organisms from the soil to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere.
