“…The health and growth of plants are strongly linked to the acid and biogeochemical conditions of the soil. The effect of acid soils includes leaf damage, physiological and morphological alterations (necrotic spots and discoloration), and damage to crops and the surrounding ecosystem [ 34 ]. Certain crops are specifically sensitive to soil pH changes, such as carrots, cabbage, tomato, alfalfa, macadamia nut, avocado, and banana, and changes in pH would lead to an incomplete, damaged, or very low-quality harvest, prompting the use of more fertilizers to improve the harvest, making this an endless cycle.…”

Due to the constant growth of the human population and anthropological activity, it has become necessary to use sustainable and affordable technologies that satisfy the current and future demand for agricultural products. Since the nutrients available to plants in the soil are limited and the need to increase the yields of the crops is desirable, the use of chemical (inorganic or NPK) fertilizers has been widespread over the last decades, causing a nutrient shortage due to their misuse and exploitation, and because of the uncontrolled use of these products, there has been a latent environmental and health problem globally. For this reason, green biotechnology based on the use of microalgae biomass is proposed as a sustainable alternative for development and use as soil improvers for crop cultivation and phytoremediation. This review explores the long-term risks of using chemical fertilizers for both human health (cancer and hypoxia) and the environment (eutrophication and erosion), as well as the potential of microalgae biomass to substitute current fertilizer using different treatments on the biomass and their application methods for the implementation on the soil; additionally, the biomass can be a source of carbon mitigation and wastewater treatment in agro-industrial processes.

“…In the short term, grasses promote nitrogen fixation by absorbing nitrogen from the soil, encouraging leguminous plants, i.e., rhizobia, to be more active (Pankievicz et al, 2015). However, this stimulates the growth of grasses, which disrupts the grass-legumes relationship, due to the greater competitive ability of grasses in relation to legumes (Tomić et al, 2018). As a consequence, productivity and persistence, as well as nitrogen fixation of legumes, are significantly reduced.…”

In the current intensive systems of agricultural production, many important features, i.e., functions of the agroecosystem have been degraded and disrupted. The intensification of agricultural production inevitably leads to land degradation in terms of its physical, chemical, and biological properties. The increasing presence of monocultures, reduced crop rotation, and excessive use of mineral nutrients, lead to several negative phenomena in such agroecosystems. Along with efforts to reduce energy consumption, and environmental pollution, intensify sustainable agriculture systems, and maintain biodiversity, the possibility of increasing the area under perennial forage legumes should be considered. As nitrogen fixers, these plants are minimally fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers whose residues in the soil are lost by leaching, causing pollution of groundwater as well as surface watercourses. The introduction of perennial legumes in the crop rotation can provide numerous benefits, such as increased and more stable yields of protein-rich biomass, conservation, and repair of land resources, increased yield stability, better utilization of nutrients, water, and light, as well as weed, disease, and pest control. The introduction of legumes in production systems would limit the increasingly pronounced land degradation. In order to develop sustainable agriculture, market policy should recognize the value of products obtained from leguminous plants through certain agricultural policy measures.

“…Посматрано краткорочно, траве поспјешују азотофиксацију усвајајући азот из земљишта, подстичући легуминозне биљке, односно ризобијуме на већу активност. Међутим, при томе долази до стимулације пораста трава, чиме се нарушава однос траве-легуминозе, због веће компетитивне способности трава у односу на легуминозе (Tomić et al 2018a) Азот који је поријеклом од симбиотске азотофиксације улази у земљишне резерве често на различите, веома комплексне начине, нарочито ако се узме у обзир и начин коришћења (на примjер пашњачки). Уколико се легуминозне биљке гаје као монокултуре, жетвени остаци се на крају њиховог циклуса развоја најчешће заоравају, или остају на површини као такозвани мртви малч.…”

“…Вишегодишње врсте легуминоза које се користе у неколико наврата током године (косидба/испаша) су, захваљујући брзини регенерације, још бољи компетитори, тако да је заступљеност коровских биљака на површинама на којима се оне гаје веома мала (Everwand et al 2014). Гајењем легуминоза у смјеши са травама повећава се компетитивност усјева према коровима у односу на чисте усјеве (Tomić et al 2014г;Poggio 2005). Чак и у краткотрајним травно-легуминозним смјешама, на примjер бијеле дјетелине и енглеског љуља, компетитивност смјеше је веома изражена, нарочито у односу на једногодишње корове (Hole et al 2005).…”

In order to increase and intensify of livestock production, the solution should be found in high-yielding plant species of good quality, which fit into the system of continuous production of animal feed. Together with efforts to reduce energy consumption, environmental pollution, intensify sustainable agriculture systems and maintain biodiversity, the possibility of increasing areas under forage legumes should be considered. As nitrogen fixers, these plants are minimally fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers whose residues in soil are lost by leaching, causing pollution of groundwater as well as surface watercourses. The diversity of their use, high and stable yield and quality of products, make these plants important in solving problem of deficit of protein-rich animal feed. From the group of perennial forage legumes, the representatives with the greatest economic and agrotechnical importance are: blue alfalfa, sickle medick, hybrid alfalfa, black medic, red clover, white clover, birdsfoot trefoil, greater bird's-foottrefoil, narrow-leaved bird's-foot-trefoil, common sainfoin, white sweet clover and yellow sweet clover. In the group of annual forage legumes that are grown or may be of interest in modern forage production systems belong to: vetchs, forage peas, broad bean, lupins, soybeans and cowpea. Besides until recently, far more cultivated species such as lentils, grass pea and bitter vetch, positive results of preliminary experiments with species such as pigeon pea, white lupin, narrowleaf lupin, narbon bean and cowpea, indicate the possibility of their introduction into livestock production systems and / or green manure. Forage legumes are grown in Republika Srpska on about 50,000 ha as pure crops, often as combined crops with perennial or annual grasses, other legumes or plants from other groups. Growing combined leguminous crops and grasses or cereals can provide many benefits, such as: increased biomass yield and utilization of soil resources, increased yield stability, improved nutrient, water and light utilization, as well as weed, disease and pest control. In the temperate climate zone, this way of cultivation is far more successful when used in forage production compared to grain production. Today, as in the previous period, there is a need for species and cultivars of forage legumes, which in addition to with high yield potential, will have improved grain / forage quality, as well as increased resistance to stress, especially stress caused by lack of soil water, high temperatures and increased solar radiation. The economy of production of legumes at the farm level is often misjudged as negative, because they generally do not take into account the positive, economically currently invisible, advantages in growing legumes. Prices of protein feed underlying the intensive production systems in the future will continue to rise, so that in the near future, cultivation of legumes and be cost effective than most other agricultural plants. The benefits of cultivating legumes and their impact on the advancement of agroecosystems have been for a long time. The introduction of legumes into production systems would limit the increasing degradation of land. In order to develop sustainable agriculture, market policy should recognize the value of products obtained from leguminous plants by certain agrarian policy measures.
