“… Adegboyega et al (2021) reported that the amount of N fixed (kg ha −1 ) in the shoot of wing bean varies among accessions. Zoundji et al (2022) concluded that the inoculation of Bambara groundnut with rhizobia improved nodulation and dry biomass yield and enhanced nitrogen uptake. Therefore, the aim of this experiment is to determine the potential of nitrogen-fixation bacteria strains on the nitrogen fixation of different BGN accessions that differ in genetic composition.…”

Nitrogen fixation by bacteria is essential for sustaining the growth, development, and yield of legumes. Pot experiments were carried out at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in the glasshouse between August to December 2018/2019 cropping season in Ibadan, Nigeria. Field studies were also performed in two different agroecological zones, “Ibadan and Ikenne” between August and December of 2019/2020 cropping season. The studies were set up to determine the potential of nitrogen-fixation bacteria strain inoculation on the nitrogen-fixation potential of 10 Bambara groundnut (BGN) genotypes, namely, TVSu-378, TVSu-506, TVSu-787, TVSu-1,606, TVSu-1,698, TVSu-1739, TVSu-710, TVSu-365, TVSu-475, and TVSu-305. The strains were inoculated as a broth to seedlings of each BGN genotype in the pot experiment. While six seeds from each BGN genotype were coated with each of the following nitrogen-fixation bacteria (Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains), FA3, USDA110, IRJ2180A, and RACA6, nitrogen fertilizer (urea, 20 kg/ha) was applied as a check to the nitrogen-fixation bacteria to seedlings of BGN genotypes 2 weeks after planting in both glasshouses and fields. Uninoculated plants served as controls (zero inoculation and zero fertilization). The field experiments were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), while the glasshouse experiments were arranged in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) in triplicate. The result gotten showed that higher nodule numbers and weight were recorded in TVSu-1739 and TVSu-475 in both locations and seasons compared to other genotypes; the highest nitrogen fixed values were recorded among BGN genotypes TVSu-1739, TVSu-1,698, TVSu-787, TVSu-365, TVSu-305, TVSu-710, and TVSu-1,606, with a range of (62–67 kg ha−1), and were mostly enhanced by RACA6 and USDA110 strains compared to other strains that were used.

Adopting underutilized legumes in tackling food security is essential, especially in this era of climate change. Underutilized legumes are embedded with inherent potentials such as the ability to survive in extreme conditions (such as temperature, drought, pH, saline, etc.), high nitrogen-fixing potential, weed and disease control ability, and high nutrient status. Underutilized legumes can improve the yield of companion crops in an intercropping system and as a subsequent crop (due to their residual effects). They possess symbiotic and non-symbiotic organisms in their nodules, and also have different organisms in their bulk soil, rhizoplanes and rhizosphere, which can fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus or produce exudates which help in improving plant growth. Also, they contain some phytochemicals, including alkaloids, saponin, amino acids, organic and inorganic minerals, and compounds that help improve human health and prevent diseases. Hence, this review discusses the current status, role, challenges and the prospects of underutilized legumes in food security.
