In comparison to other herbaceous plants, the Osmanthus has emerged as an excellent source of nitrogen as it helps in establishing itself as a nitrogen-fixing plant.

Like other types of nitrogen-fixing plants, the Osmanthus benefits from the use of an active soil-improving rhizosphere. This is the area around the roots where microorganisms and organic matter are found. Because of the growth of the rhizosphere micro-organisms as well as the rhizodeposits of the roots, the nitrogen fixation occurs in this place.

This results in a healthier environment where all of the microorganisms and oxygen present in the soil are utilized, making the soil more healthy for the plant to be able to grow in. Also, the soil of the plant helps in its growth as it is very acidic and acidic is the soil’s pH factor. It is more favorable for the germination of young seedlings, flowering, and growth rate.

These microorganisms in the soil and plants help in the transfer of carbon from the soil from organic matter they receive to make the plant grow and also for the plant growth in terms of its reproduction.
