In agroecosystems, nitrogen is one of the major nutrients limiting plant growth. To meet the
increased nitrogen demand in agriculture, synthetic fertilizers have been used extensively in …

Biological dinitrogen (N 2) fixation is a natural process of significant importance in world
agriculture. The demand for accurate determinations of global inputs of biologically-fixed …

The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil. Structural and functional characteristics of roots contribute to …

Data collated from around the world indicate that, for every tonne of shoot dry matter
produced by crop legumes, the symbiotic relationship with rhizobia is responsible for fixing …

Because nitrogen is one of the major elements limiting growth of plants in agrosystems,
large amounts of N fertilisers have been used in the second half of the twentieth century …

Background The demand for estimates of biological nitrogen (N) fixation inputs in
agricultural systems is driven by the need to effectively manage the global N cycle. Scope …

Symbiotic dinitrogen (N 2) fixation of crop and pasture legumes is a critical component of
agricultural systems, but its measurement is expensive and labour intensive. Simple models …

Food security, land degradation, eliminating the threats of climate change, soil sustainability,
and crop productivity are the critical challenges in the coming years. Therefore, the …

Integral soil fertility is managed by practices that contribute to organic matter, which
improves its properties. Bokashi is an organic amendment that can be part of the tools used …

Dryland areas are experiencing low agricultural yields due to severe water shortages and
salinity, leading to food scarcity. Mungbean (Vigna radiate) is gaining attention as a short …
