“…The nitrogenase BNF enzyme, which is found inside root nodules, is responsible for that; it converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which the plant subsequently absorbs (Bruijn 2015). Rhizobia inoculation significant increased shoot biomass and root biomass the number of root, yield components, number of pods per plant, number of grain per pod and yield per hactre of the climbing bean (Mmbaga et al, 2015).…”

Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies heavily rely on biotechnology. Thus, the development and application of bio fertilizers containing beneficial bacteria and algae are a potential technique to improve horticulture crops. To evaluate the effects of bio-fertilizer such as seaweed extract, Azospirillum brasilense and Rhizobium phaseolus vulgaris on promoting the productivity, quality, and storability of two cultivars (Tema and Joty) of snap bean. The experiment was carried out during two summer seasons of 2020 and 2021 at Agricultural Station of Cairo University. There were four treatments in the study: foliar applications of liquid seaweed extract (2 ml/l), soil applications of Azospirillum baselines and Rhizobium phaseolus vulgaris (300 g/acre per microorganism), and a control treatment (water spraying). Pods after harvest from each treatment were stored in polyethylene packages for 21 days at 5 C. The results revealed that foliar application of seaweed achieved vegetative growth (plant height, Number of leave/plant, chlorophyll content, and leaf area) of both cultivars, yield, and pod quality (pod firmness, diameter, and weight) of Joty while, the highest total soluble sugar was recorded for the Tema cultivar in all the tested treatments compared to control treatment. The highest ascorbic content, TSS, general appearance and antioxidant activity were recorded in a foliar application of seaweed extract after 21 day of storage at 5 C. We can summarized that foliar application of seaweed at 2% can be used as a bio stimulant for improving vegetative growth, yield, and storability of snap beans.

“…Based on the results of the unweighted meta-analyses the average increase in grain yield and protein content was estimated at ~40% and ~10% respectively. This suggests that overall the use of inoculum is economically viable for farmers, since the cost of commercial seed inoculum products are now relatively low (usually less than 10 US $/ha) and recent economic analyses showed that relatively small increases in grain legume yields will significantly improve net-income for farmers, without economic benefits of increased residual-N (higher yields and/or lower fertilizer costs) in crops grown after legumes being taken into consideration [55][56][57][58][59]. However, since (i) crude protein content is estimated by measuring grain Ncontent and (ii) because grain N-content is correlated to total symbiotic N-fixation, the residual soil-N from inoculated crops with a 40% higher grain yield and 10% higher protein content, can also be estimated to be at least 40% higher compared with a non-inoculated crop.…”

Variable and sometimes contrasting effects of using artificial rhizobium inocula to increase grain legume performance have been reported. The objectives of this systematic review and meta-analysis were therefore to (i) estimate the overall effect of rhizobium inocula on grain yield and protein content and (ii) identify potential confounding factors that explain the observed variation. A web of Science database literature search was carried out in 2016. Data from all field experiments, greenhouse and pot experiments that compared grain yields and protein contents in Rhizobium/Bradyrhizobium-inoculated with non-inoculated control crops were extracted and analyzed using previously described unweighted and weighted meta-analysis protocols. GRADE assessments of the strength of evidence of results from the weighted meta-analyses were carried which included an assessment of the risk of publication bias. Results: For unweighted meta-analyses we identified eligible data in 236 and 36 studies for grain yield and protein content respectively. For weighted meta-analyses we identified eligible data in 92 and 8 studies for grain yield and protein content respectively. Rhizobium inoculation was found to (i) significantly increase grain yield in both the unweighted (mean percent difference: 41%, 95%CI 36,46, p&lt;0.0001) and weighted meta-analysis (Standardized mean difference: 1.56, 95%CI 1.26,1.87, p&lt;0.0001) and (ii) significantly increase protein content in the unweighted meta-analysis (mean percent difference: 11%, 95%CI 5,18, p&lt;0.0001), but not the weighed meta-analyses which only detected a trend (0.1&gt;p&gt;0.05) towards higher protein content in inoculated grain legume crops. Multi-level model-based weighted meta-analyses suggest that the (i) type of experiment, (ii) type of fertilizer used in experiments, (iii) grain legume type/species and (iv) the country in which experiments were carried out, were confounding factors. The main limitation of the evidence is that a large number of publications did not report measures of variation and could therefore not be included in the more scientifically sound weighted meta-analyses. However based on the large evidence-base available for grain yield it can be concluded that overall Bradyrhizobium/Rhizobium seed inoculation results can increase grain yield by ~40% compared with non-inoculated grain legume crops.

“…On the other hand, the element Mo is needed in the nitrate reductase enzyme to reduce nitrogen in nitrogen fixation in the root nodule tissue of soybean plants (Stiens et al, 2007). The element Mo is a component of the nitrate reductase enzyme, which plays a significant role in the assimilation of nitrogen nitrate (Mmbaga et al, 2015). High acidity (low pH) in ultisol soils and high Al saturation values can be neutralized by liming.…”

Ultisol is a type of soil with low organic matter, pH, and nutrient content, including molybdenum, leading to low productivity. This study aimed to investigate the use of dry land using molybdenum and lime (CaCO 3 ) inoculated with Rhizobium strain Nod + Fix + to increase the soybean production of Willis and Baluran cultivars. This research was conducted from May to September 2021 in Pallangga Subdistrict, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study used a split-plot design with three replications for each treatment. The first factor was soybean varieties, consisting of Baluran and Willis cultivars. The second factor was the composition of the bacterial strain Nod + Fix + , lime CaCO 3 and NH 4 -molybdate, which consisted of without (Rhizobium strain Nod + Fix + + CaCO 3 + NH 4 -molybdate); Rhizobium strain Nod + Fix + + CaCO 3 1.0 ton/ha + NH 4 -molybdate 250 g/h); Rhizobium strain Nod + Fix + + CaCO 3 1.5 tons/ha + NH 4 -molybdate 500 g/h); and Rhizobium strain Nod + Fix + + CaCO 3 2.0 tons/ha + NH 4 -molybdate 750 g/h). The results showed that treating the bacterial strain Nod + Fix + + MoCo (1.0:0.6) kg/ha achieved the best results on growth, nutrient uptake (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium), and soybean yields, both for Willis and Baluran varieties on ultisol soils.
