“…Inoculation of faba bean with Rhizobium increased the yield and the quality of seeds compared to un-inoculated treatment [53,19]. Moreover, due to rhizobia capacity to grow on nitrogen-poor soils, they can be efficiently used for successful saline soil fertility and help to reintroduce agriculture to these lands [61,48,62]. There are several reports on the application of effective rhizobial on common bean improved growth and caused yield enhancement in different climatic and soil conditions [63,64].…”

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) represents a major source of protein for animal and human nutrition, and provides several benefits such as improved soil quality. The Giza cultivar 87 (Vicia faba L.) was evaluated in three different salinity levels (6.9, 8.7 and 14.8 dSm-1) during two successive cropping seasons (2016-2017 and 2017-2018). The experiment was designed to analyze effect of soil salinity on nitrogen fixation, protein, chemical composition and crop productivity (for both grain and straw). Three phosphorus levels and inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae were investigated to improve the growth of Vicia faba L under these conditions. Soil salinity levels reduced the grain number and straw weight of plants. Moreover, yield reductions were associated with increasing soil salinity levels confirming salinity effects on faba bean productivity. Salinity induced a significant decreased in all plant growth parameters, plant chlorophyll and grains proteins, as well as increased Na% of faba bean plants. The plants treated with R. leguminosarum bv. viciae showed significant increase in growth traits such as plant length (%), plant fresh weight (%), protein, N-content and dry weight. On the other hand, the dual treatments with R. leguminosarum bv. viciae plus phosphorus gave a great results compared with inoculation or phosphorus alone. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation inoculation enhanced the growth and yield parameters.

“…Fertilizers are indispensable for higher yields in agricultural food production [1]. They supply plants with primary nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) with the focus of this chapter lying on N. Even though around 80% of the atmosphere consists of molecular N, it cannot directly be used by most plants due to it being highly stable and chemically inert [2]. Only a limited number of plants (legume plants) can fix atmospheric N through a symbiosis with N-fixing rhizobia bacteria called biological N fixation.…”

“…Only a limited number of plants (legume plants) can fix atmospheric N through a symbiosis with N-fixing rhizobia bacteria called biological N fixation. The plant-microbe interaction results in new plant organs called root nodules, where the bacteria convert atmospheric N into available N for the plant [2,3]. Thus, a regular replenishment of nutrients, e.g., in the form of manure, soil amendments, or organic or synthetic fertilizers, is necessary to keep the harvest quantity and quality of nonleguminous crops high [4].…”

Through the increasing use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers due to an increasing food demand, the agricultural sector is the main contributor of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, mainly through microbial processes called nitrification and denitrification. One option to mitigate N 2 O, a major greenhouse gas, is to use enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs). There are different types of EEFs like nitrification inhibitors or controlledrelease fertilizers that aim to match the N release from fertilizers with N demands from plants. Parts of the chapter are also dedicated to organic amendments and their effects on N 2 O emissions. Overall, EEFs can improve the N-use efficiency of plants, which has two positive effects. First, farmers can increase their yields, and second, environmental pollution through excessive fertilizer N can be minimized. However, the effectiveness of EEFs strongly depends on numerous factors like land use type, application method, and climate. More studies are needed to establish individual fertilizer plans that are optimized for the prevalent conditions. In conclusion, N 2 O mitigation using EEFs is only advisable when "initial" N 2 O emissions from conventional fertilizers are critically contributing to annual N 2 O emissions. Thus, careful assessment is needed before EEFs are introduced to the system especially when economic and ecologic results are considered.

“…Therefore, they are very important both ecologically and agriculturally. As consequences of legume N2 fixation, they increased plant protein levels and soil fertility through reduced depletion of soil N reserves (Allito et al, 2015). Legumes, through their symbiotic abilities, can play an important role in colonizing disturbed ecosystems.…”

“…Legumes are important crops in providing food for humans worldwide. They are a primary source of amino acids and a third of processed vegetable oil for human feeding (Graham and Vance, 2003;Kudapa et al, 2013;Allito et al, 2015). Grain legumes alone contribution are 33% of the dietary protein nitrogen (N) needs of humans (Graham and Vance, 2003).…”

Two field experiments were carried out during two successive seasons of 2015 and 2016, to study the growth response and yield as well as chemical composition of some legume plants vis., cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. cv Kaha 1), common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Nebraska), peas (Pisum sativum L. cv. Master B) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L., cv. Giza 3) to inoculation with non-rhizobial endophytic bacteria, strains ,vis., Enterobacter sp.(strain No.1), Pseudomonas sp.(strain No.2) and Pseudomonas sp.(strain No.3 ) which were isolated from root nodules of Melilotus indicus (L.) All. Results showed that almost all treatments increased all vegetative growth parameters tested, vis., shoot minerals, nitrogen content and total carbohydrate and seeds minerals, total protein, total carbohydrate and total yield (seeds and green yield) of the four tested legumes. Further, the three bacterial strains used in this study showed high growth promoting activities. They gave high production of IAA and showed highly antagonistic activity against some phytopathogenic fungi. Therefore, the best results were obtained with treatments T2 for cowpea and fenugreek and T4 for common bean and pea. So, it could be recommended to use these bacterial strains as inoculants for cowpea, fenugreek, common bean and pea crop legumes.
