“…The maximum dry weight of root nodules /plant at flower initiation and peak flowering stages obtained in combination of 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost + rhizobium + PSB (32.89, 27.15 mg). These results were in conformity of the findings (Gan et al, 2005;Meena et al, 2015b).…”

“…The rhizosphere is inhabited by actively growing microbial population that immensely affects the root and plant metabolic activities. rhizobium and PSB are beneficial for root nodule formation collectively known as rhizobia, as potential microbial inoculants have been convincingly emphasized in recent years for its nitrogen and phosphorus fixing ability (Meena et al, 2015b). Hence, the present investigation was carried out to find out appropriate integrated nutrient management option for greengram productivity and to find out available NPK and organic carbon status in soil after harvest of greengram in eastern Uttar Pradesh region.…”

A field experiment was carried out at Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) during kharif season of 2013 to study the influence of integrated nutrient management on greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek].Three sources of nutrients viz. inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers were used in twelve combinations with randomized block design. Among different combinations, significant improvement in number of nodules/plant (80.97), dry weight of nodules (32.89 mg/plant), yield attributes, seed yield (12.34 qt/ha), harvest index (28.32%), nutrient content, available NPK and organic carbon after harvest in soil were recorded with application of nutrients through 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost + rhizobium + Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as compared to other combinations and control, but it was at par with 100% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost and 100% RDF + rhizobium + PSB.

“…Legumes belong to the family of Leguminosae or Fabacae and are considered after cereals the most important crops worldwide. They are grown on about 180 million hectares, equivalent to 12% to 15% of Earth's arable land (Meena and others ) and have been part of the basic human diet since 7000 BC, mainly in developing countries. The most consumed legumes are common beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), chickpeas ( Cicer arietinum ), lentils ( Lens culinaris, L. esculenta ), peas ( Pisum sativum ), broad beans ( Vicia faba ), peanuts ( Arachys hypogea ), and soybeans ( Glycine max ), the latter being the most produced and industrialized worldwide (Sánchez‐Chino and others ).…”

Seed legumes have played a major role as a crop worldwide, being cultivated on about 12% to 15% of Earth's arable land; nevertheless, their use is limited by, among other things, the presence of several antinutritional factors (ANFsnaturally occurring metabolites that the plant produces to protect itself from pest attacks.) Trypsin inhibitors (TIs) are one of the most relevant ANFs because they reduce digestion and absorption of dietary proteins. Several methods have been developed in order to inactivate TIs, and of these, thermal treatments are the most commonly used. They cause loss of nutrients, affect functional properties, and require high amounts of energy. Given the above, new processes have emerged to improve the nutritional quality of legumes while trying to solve the problems caused by the use of thermal treatments. This review examines and discusses the methods developed by researchers to inactivate TI present in legumes and their effects over nutritional and functional properties.

“…EC are easily digestible in AD to produce high energy content in comparison to other refuse materials [40]. Various researchers have reported the energy potential of legume mixture or similar types of EC in their research work [5,6,41]. The yield potential of the cultivated EC also depends on the characteristics of the soil and irrigation water quality [29].…”

“…The review has concluded that the annual potential for biogas in Europe is around 200 billion m 3 [4]. Agricultural wastes are mostly biodegradable materials, which have attracted the researchers to utilize it in the form of a clean source of energy [5][6][7]. The various researchers reported that the EC can enhance the efficiencies of an AD.…”

The crisis of fossil fuel and their negative impact on the environment has caused concern among the scientific communities leading them to look around for renewable sources of energy. This review has emphasized the efficient utilization of organic municipal solid waste as well as agriculture waste in an anaerobic digester for the production of biogas as a sustainable renewable energy. Recent advances in biogas production along with previous research work have been discussed to offer a comprehensive synopsis of the accumulated knowledge. This review also elucidates about the design of an anaerobic digester, the prospect of anaerobic digestion and opportunity in new advances in technology. Biogas is one of the most accepted sustainable renewable energy. The characterization, elimination of contaminants, pretreatment, anaerobic digestion in optimum condition and utilization of energy crops enhanced the efficiency of an anaerobic digester. Pretreatment of segregated organic solid waste increased its putrescibility and further biogas production. The optimized parameters in this review were pH, temperature, loading rate, C/N ratio and solid/liquid ratio of the feedstock. The flow rate of the feedstock was optimized according to the available volume of the digester, residence time and the characteristics of the feedstock. The design of an anaerobic digester should be preferably cylindrical in shape, with a diameter ranging from 6 to 40 m, the depth ranging from 7.5 to 15 m and the conical floor having a slope around 15%. A comprehensive reform in technical, economic, and social policies is essential to accomplish a sustainable energy system considering biogas as a future renewable energy. The flowsheet of the biogas and methanol production has been given in Fig. 1.
