The rate of growth of the global population poses a risk to food security, demanding an
increase in food production. Much of the world's cultivable soils also do not have ideal …

Legumes play a significant role in sustainable agriculture through their ability to improve soil
fertility and health. Legumes, with a mutual symbiotic relationship with some bacteria in soil …

Introduction The burgeoning population of the world is causing food insecurity not only by
less food availability but also by the malnutrition of essential nutrients and vitamins …

Contamination of soil through hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) has increased rapidly during the
last few decades. Cr (VI) is a bio-accumulative hazardous metal that can lead to harmful …

Legumes' nutrition relies on two sources of nitrogen (N): mineral N from soil, and biological
N fixation (BNF). The aim of this study was to verify the effect of bacterial inoculation, as well …

A field experiment was conducted to assess plant growth, symbiotic performance and grain
yield of common bean in response to rhizobial incoculation and phosphorus application at …

Abstract Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is one of the most important crops worldwide
providing dietary protein and vegetable oil. Most of the nitrogen required by the crop is …

Crop production encounters challenges due to the dearth of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus
(P), while excessive use of chemical fertilizers causes environmental hazards. Use of …

Chemical fertilizers can supply essential nutrients to crops increasing their yield, however,
they can also cause serious environmental problems. Biofertilizer has received more and …

Biological nitrogen fixation is the most important biochemical reaction for life on earth.
Phosphorus and rhizobium inoculation increased N2-fixation by legumes. Legumes in …
