“…Nitrate application enhanced the plant's height probably since it was readily available for uptake compared to urea. Timely plants' N-nutrition promote rapid cell elongation, division, and differentiation in plants as observed by previous scholars (Chandler, 2015;Ochieng' et al, 2021;Sousa et al, 2022;Zhao et al, 2023). In the present study, the application of nitrogen recorded a significant difference in plant height from those of the control with increasing levels and spike heights registered at mid-N level (50 kg N ha -1 ).…”

The soil's capability to adjust and mitigate the effects of water shortage due to climate change is limited in some regions such those that suffer from the low rainfall rates. This experimental field study aimed to assess the effects of two inorganic nitrogen forms on maize performance (i.e., growth, yield, grain protein content, and gross returns) and rainwater use efficiency (RUE). Treatments comprised three replicates of synthetic nitrogen forms (i.e., urea and nitrate) that were located in the main plots with four levels that were assigned to the subplots (i.e., 0, 25, 50, and 100 kg N ha-1). Nitrate application resulted in a higher plant height (62 cm) at the vegetative phase with superior values (11.6%) recorded in grain protein than those obtained from other treatments. In addition, the highest grain yield was obtained in nitrate-treated plots in comparison to other N application forms. The leaf area index registered optimal values when 50 kg N ha-1 was applied. On the application of two nitrogen forms, nitrate resulted in a higher RUE (2.1-3.4 kg ha-1 mm-1) than that obtained from maize treated with urea (1.3-1.9 kg ha-1 mm-1). This translated to a 123-234% increase in RUE over the control (N0), which is the key smallholder farmers’ practice. It is recommended that producing maize using nitrate nitrogen at 50 kg N ha-1 as opposed to urea can increase yield stability, and rain use efficiency with higher gross returns in water-scarce agro-ecologies in SSA.

“…However, the rhizobium strains CIAT 899 and PVTN21 enhanced nodulation only when the mineral-N supply was restricted. The suppression of root nodulation by rhizobia under standard quantities of mineral-N application has been reported previously by several researchers, including Rebeschini et al [ 39 ], Głodowska et al [ 40 ] and Souza et al [ 16 ]. Irrespective of the level of N input, the native strain PVTN21 enhanced nodulation to a greater extent than the commercial rhizobia strain CIAT 899, the effectiveness of which weakened as cultivation progressed.…”

“…grains or green pods are a rich source of plant protein, essential minerals, carbohydrates, fibres and several bioactive compounds [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. In addition to their high nutritional value, the high adaptability of this crop species to different edaphoclimatic conditions [ 14 ], its capability of utilizing atmospheric N, and short growth-cycle compared to other legumes [ 15 ], render the common bean as the most popular legume for human consumption, with high socioeconomic value, especially for the developing countries [ 16 ].…”

This study aims to explore the possibility of a reduced application of inorganic nitrogen (N) fertiliser on the yield, yield qualities, and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of the hydroponic common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), without compromising plant performance, by utilizing the inherent ability of this plant to symbiotically fix N2. Until the flowering stage, plants were supplied with a nutrient solution containing N-concentrations of either a, 100%, conventional standard-practice, 13.8 mM; b, 75% of the standard, 10.35 mM; or c, 50% of the standard, 6.9 mM. During the subsequent reproductive stage, inorganic-N treatments b and c were decreased to 25% of the standard, and the standard (100% level) N-application was not altered. The three different inorganic-N supply treatments were combined with two different rhizobia strains, and a control (no-inoculation) treatment, in a two-factorial experiment. The rhizobia strains applied were either the indigenous strain Rhizobium sophoriradicis PVTN21 or the commercially supplied Rhizobium tropici CIAT 899. Results showed that the 50–25% mineral-N application regime led to significant increases in nodulation, BNF, and fresh-pod yield, compared to the other treatment, with a reduced inorganic-N supply. On the other hand, the 75–25% mineral-N regime applied during the vegetative stage restricted nodulation and BNF, thus incurring significant yield losses. Both rhizobia strains stimulated nodulation and BNF. However, the BNF capacity they facilitated was suppressed as the inorganic-N input increased. In addition, strain PVTN21 was superior to CIAT 899—as 50–25% N-treated plants inoculated with the former showed a yield loss of 11%, compared to the 100%-N-treated plants. In conclusion, N-use efficiency optimises BNF, reduces mineral-N-input dependency, and therefore may reduce any consequential negative environmental consequences of mineral-N over-application.

“…In essence, H 2 S modulates plant development under various environmental challenges, enhancing fruit yield (Bahmanbiglo & Eshghi, 2021; Kaya et al, 2018). Beneficial SNF between rhizobia and legumes results in greater production benefits (Denton et al, 2013; Sousa et al, 2022). Therefore, nodule N‐fixation efficiency in legumes becomes extremely critical.…”

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) performs a crucial role in plant development and abiotic stress responses by interacting with other signalling molecules. However, the synergistic involvement of H 2 S and rhizobia in photosynthetic carbon (C) metabolism in soybean (Glycine max) under nitrogen (N) deficiency has been largely overlooked.Therefore, we scrutinised how H 2 S drives photosynthetic C fixation, utilisation, and accumulation in soybean-rhizobia symbiotic systems. When soybeans encountered N deficiency, organ growth, grain output, and nodule N-fixation performance were considerably improved owing to H 2 S and rhizobia. Furthermore, H 2 S collaborated with rhizobia to actively govern assimilation product generation and transport, modulating C allocation, utilisation, and accumulation. Additionally, H 2 S and rhizobia profoundly affected critical enzyme activities and coding gene expressions implicated in C fixation, transport, and metabolism. Furthermore, we observed substantial effects of H 2 S and rhizobia on primary metabolism and C-N coupled metabolic networks in essential organs via C metabolic regulation. Consequently, H 2 S synergy with rhizobia inspired complex primary metabolism and C-N coupled metabolic pathways by directing the expression of key enzymes and related coding genes involved in C metabolism, stimulating effective C fixation, transport, and distribution, and ultimately improving N fixation, growth, and grain yield in soybeans.
