Which one of the following is not correctly matched?
- ABlue green algae - Paddy
- BRhizobium leguminosarum - Pea
- CAzotobacter - Wheat
- DAzolla - Maize
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Azolla - Maize
Explanation
Blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) fix nitrogen in paddy fields, and Rhizobium leguminosarum nodulates pea.
Azotobacter is a free-living nitrogen fixer associated with wheat.
Azolla is a water fern (with Anabaena) used as a biofertiliser in paddy/rice, not maize, so this pair is wrong.
