The symbiotic relationship between leguminous plants and rhizobia plays an important role in agricultural production and environmental protection. Through the process of nitrogen fixation, rhizobia provide legumes with the nitrogen source they need to grow, reducing their reliance on chemical fertilizers, thereby increasing crop yields and promoting soil health. In this study, the symbiotic relationship between leguminous plants and rhizobia was systematically analyzed. The diversity of rhizobia in soil and its living conditions, including signal exchange and genetic regulation during nodule formation and development, were discussed. Through case studies, this study demonstrates the successful application of symbiotic relationships in different agro-ecosystems and analyzes the challenges of comparative research and practice under different climatic conditions. The aim of this study is to provide a theoretical basis for further improving the symbiosis efficiency of leguminous plants and rhizobia, and to put forward suggestions for agricultural practice, which is of great practical significance.
