Background Inoculation of plants to enhance yield of crops and performance of other plants
is a century old, proven technology for rhizobia and a newer venue for plant growth …

Endophytic bacteria often promote plant growth and protect their host plant against
pathogens, herbivores, and abiotic stresses including drought, increased salinity or …

Rhizobia–legume symbiosis is an important type of plant–microbe mutualism; however, the
establishment of this association is complicated and can be affected by many factors. The …

Soybean is the most widely grown legume in the world. A beneficial feature of soybean is its
ability to associate with rhizobia bacteria in its root nodules to fix atmospheric nitrogen …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is the main route for sustainable input of nitrogen into
ecosystems. Nitrogen fixation in agriculture can be improved by inoculation of legume crops …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, is one of the most important food crops in the
world. High soybean yields require large amounts of N fertilizers, which are expensive and …

The effect of rate of application of Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) fredii SMH12 or Bradyrhizobium
japonicum USDA110 inoculants on grain yields of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] cv …

Soil fertility is one of the major limiting factors for crop's productivity in Egypt and the world in
general. Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) has a great importance as a non-polluting and a …

It is unclear if additional inoculation with Bradyrhizobia at varying soybean [Glycine max (L.)
Merr.] growth stages can impact biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), increase yield and …

Agriculture is essential for nutrition and the global economy, becoming increasingly
important due to population growth and higher food demand. This situation boosts interest in …
