“…It is a major source of fixed nitrogen in agricultural soils. Inoculation of soybean seeds with proper bacterial strains has been reported to increase seed production by 70-75% [76]. According to Simanungkalit et al [77], there have been good responses by soybean to inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum expressed in terms of both the proportion of nodules (Fig.…”

Most soils in sub-Saharan Africa are depleted and lack important nutrients for proper plant growth and development. The declining trend of soil fertility pronounced in different parts of Africa is attributed to different factors such as continuous cropping without soil replenishment and land degradation leading to poor grain yield of legumes. Nitrogen and phosphorus are among the most limiting nutrients for plant growth as they play different roles in the biochemical processes of plants. Phosphorus is a fundamental component of substances that are building blocks of genes and chromosomes. Adequate supply of phosphorus is essential for development of new cells and the transfer of the genetic code from one cell to another during cell formation. Nitrogen is an essential constituent of plant cells at structural, genetic and metabolic levels, involved in many processes of plant growth and development leading to yield and quality of harvested organs. Traditionally, small-scale farmers use little or no farm-yard manure and chemical fertilizers to improve soil nutrition. However, these fertilizers are expensive to be afforded by small-scale farmers. The alternative to this is the use of cheap and easily applied biofertilizer such as Rhizobium bacteria that can fix atmospheric nitrogen to the form that can be taken by plants. The potential role of rhizobia inoculants and P application with respect to growth, nitrogen fixation, nutrient uptake, total leaf chlorophyll content, and grain yield of legumes

“…Simanungkalit et al (1996) reported that indigenous bradyrhizobia in podzolic soils with a pH of 4.6 from Sumatra, Indonesia, rapidly colonized the soybean seedling rhizosphere to reach a population of 105 cells per g of rhizosphere soil. These bradyrhizobia may be adapted to an acidic environment by developing a protection mechanism against a high concentration of protons and aluminum ions or by taking refuge in some microsites with a higher pH.…”
