“…The research findings indicate that BNF through legume-Rhizobium symbiosis could fix a substantial amount of N. For example, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) could fix 465, 201, and 101 kg N ha −1 , respectively (Dakora et al, 1987;Anglade et al, 2015). BNF is not only beneficial for standing crops but also reduces the N requirement for the subsequent non-leguminous crops (Rahman et al, 2022c). In addition to other nutrients in the soil, the decomposition of legume residues and root nodules provides a considerable amount of N, thereby lessening the N requirement for the next crop (Pikul et al, 2008).…”

“…Legume-based cropping systems increased 9.7-20.5% of N content in rice residues and decreased run-off loss of N by 30-60% when compared with rice-wheat rotation (Table 4). Legume crops substantially reduce N 2 O and CO 2 emissions by lessening N fertilizer use, sequestering more carbon, and reducing the burning of fossil fuels for agricultural practices including irrigation and tillage (Rahman et al, 2022c). Thus, the inclusion of legumes in the rice-based cropping system brings tremendous benefits in terms of NUE, grain yield, soil fertility status, and environmental protection.…”

A large amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is required for paddy cultivation, but nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in paddy farming is low (20–40%). Much of the unutilized N potentially degrades the quality of soil, water, and air and disintegrates the functions of different ecosystems. It is a great challenge to increase NUE and sustain rice production to meet the food demand of the growing population. This review attempted to find out promising N management practices that might increase NUE while reducing the trade-off between rice production and environmental pollution. We collected and collated information on N management practices and associated barriers. A set of existing soil, crop, and fertilizer management strategies can be suggested for increasing NUE, which, however, might not be capable to halve N waste by 2030 as stated in the “Colombo Declaration” by the United Nations Environment Program. Therefore, more efficient N management tools are yet to be developed through research and extension. Awareness-raising campaign among farmers is a must against their misunderstanding that higher N fertilizer provides higher yields. The findings might help policymakers to formulate suitable policies regarding eco-friendly N management strategies for wetland paddy cultivation and ensure better utilization of costly N fertilizer.

“…Through symbiosis with specific types of soil bacteria contained within legume root nodules, often referred collectively as rhizobia ( Calles et al., 2019 ), inert atmospheric di-nitrogen (N) gas is ‘fixed’ into biologically useful forms in a process called biological N fixation (BNF); the primary natural source of N-cycling to support ecological systems ( Iannetta et al., 2016 ). Compared to long-term cereal-based cropping systems, which are critical contributors for greenhouse gases (GHGs) ( Dutta et al., 2022 ), legumes have been shown to lower emissions ( Rahman et al., 2022 ). Additionally, incorporating the wild range of legume phytochemicals via intercropping strategies can help enhance agroecosystem resilience through improved soil fertility, biodiversity and nutrient cycling ( Chamkhi et al., 2022 ).…”

Legumes are essential to healthy agroecosystems, with a rich phytochemical content that impacts overall human and animal well-being and environmental sustainability. While these phytochemicals can have both positive and negative effects, legumes have traditionally been bred to produce genotypes with lower levels of certain plant phytochemicals, specifically those commonly termed as ‘antifeedants’ including phenolic compounds, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs). However, when incorporated into a balanced diet, such legume phytochemicals can offer health benefits for both humans and animals. They can positively influence the human gut microbiome by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, contributing to gut health, and demonstrating anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Beyond their nutritional value, legume phytochemicals also play a vital role in soil health. The phytochemical containing residues from their shoots and roots usually remain in-field to positively affect soil nutrient status and microbiome diversity, so enhancing soil functions and benefiting performance and yield of following crops. This review explores the role of legume phytochemicals from a ‘one health’ perspective, examining their on soil- and gut-microbial ecology, bridging the gap between human nutrition and agroecological science.

“…Rice production depends on a large number of chemical fertilizers which leads to health hazards and environmental pollution in the rice growing areas. Therefore, for maintaining environmental sustainability, there is a need to think about eco-friendly approaches to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers by application of beneficial microorganisms [5]. Soil is abundant with many types of microorganisms and microorganisms especially in the rhizosphere play an important role in plant growth and development through various mechanisms [6].…”

Aims: The application of a huge number of chemical fertilizers for crop production alters the sustainability of the environment and creates pollution. This problem can be minimized by the application of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB). Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) are beneficial bacteria that promote plant growth and development through a variety of mechanisms. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted at the department of Soil Science, BSMRAU to investigate the effect of different PGPB isolates on growth, nutrient content, and uptake by rice. Materials and Methods: The experiment was carried out following a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replicates. Twenty bacterial isolates were used as treatments with a control treatment. Thirty-five days old seedlings of rice were inoculated with different bacterial isolates for thirty minutes and planted in a plastic pot. Broth culture was applied at one-month intervals and crops were harvested 65 days after planting. Results: Experimental results disclose that application of PGPB isolates resulted in a significant increase in plant height, SPAD value, root length, root volume, straw fresh weight, straw dry weight, root fresh weight, root dry weight, nutrient content and uptake by the rice plant compare to control. The highest values of most of the parameters were recorded from the plant inoculated with the isolate BU Ls 28. Conclusion: The present study suggests that the use of PGPB isolate BU Ls 28 might be used as a suitable inoculant for rice production due to the ability of this isolate to promote plant growth.
