“…They form fast-growing colonies with large quantities of translucent exopolysaccharide gum. Our data on antibiotic resistance and colony morphology of the four test strains are consistent with the findings of other studies, which show that fast-growing "wet" colonies have higher antibiotic resistance than "dry" colonies [58,59]. …”

Background: Symbiotic N2 fixation in legumes is constrained by many factors, including the paucity of suitable soil rhizobia To maximise growth of legume species therefore often requires the application of effective rhizobia as inoculants. But where native strains out-compete introduced rhizobia for nodule formation, it is important that the competitiveness of selected strains is tested in the field and glasshouse prior to their recommendation as commercial inoculants. However the methodology for strain identification inside nodules has often proved difficult and thus limited this field of research. In this study, the suitability of the antibiotic resistance technique (both intrinsic low-resistance fingerprinting and high-resistance marking) and the serological indirect ELISA method were assessed for their ability to detect selected Cyclopia rhizobia under glasshouse and field conditions. The four rhizobial strains that were used, namely PPRICI3, UCT40a, UCT44b and UCT61a, were isolated from wild Cyclopia species growing in the Western Cape fynbos of South Africa.

“…The availability of Ca in the soil enhances the symbiotic N fixation, thus promote productivity in haricot bean through increasing yield components. In support of the current study, Lucrecia M et al demonstrated that supply of Ca 2+ through lime significantly increased plant productivity in Pirulgaris [19].…”

Haricot bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) is one of the most economically important legume crops cultivated in Ethiopia. However, its productivity has never reached its full potential of production that it has in supporting income of resource poor farmers in the nation. This is partly due to infertility caused by acidic soils which have low nutrient contents including calcium. The present study was conducted to evaluate response of haricot bean to liming and Rhizobium inoculation in the vicinity of Mizan-Teferi, Bench-Maji Zone in Southwestern Ethiopia. The experiment comprised a factorial combination of four lime levels: 0, 1025, 2050 and 3075 kg ha-1; and Rhizobium leguminosarum biover phaseoli inoculation -with and without inoculation. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on nodulation yield and yield component parameters were collected and analyzed. The result revealed that the interaction effect of lime and Rhizobium inoculation had a significant influence on the majorities of parameters tested except pod number per plant and thousand seed weight. Higher values of nodule number per plant, nodule weight per plant, pod length, number of seed per pod and yield of haricot bean were obtained at Rhizobium inoculated treatments receiving lime rate of 2050 and 3075 kg ha-1. However, further increases in rate of lime beyond 2050 kg ha-1 even got worsen with respect to seed yield. Therefore, lime at a rate of 2050 kg ha-1 in combination with Rhizobium inoculation might be tentatively recommended to be used as a bio-fertilizer in the studied area. Further research must be needed to confirm the result presented from this finding.

“…phaseoli strain LCS0306A application resulted in yield increase by 26.56% [16]. Contrary to this, Lucrecia et al [173], Buttery et al [174], Crespo et al [175] and Karasu et al [176] found that inoculation with Rhizobium had no significant effects on common bean yield. Similarly, Massa et al [18], examined fifteen Rhizobium strains and no impact on seed yield was found.…”

Agronomic Practices to Increase the Yield and Quality of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important legume for human consumption worldwide and an important source of vegetable protein, minerals, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds. The N2-fixation capacity of this crop reduces its demand for synthetic N fertilizer application to increase yield and quality. Fertilization, yield, and quality of common bean may be optimised by several other agronomic practices such as irrigation, rhizobia application, sowing density, etc. Taking this into consideration, a systematic review integrated with a bibliometric analysis of several agronomic practices that increase common bean yield and quality was conducted, based on the literature published during 1971–2021. A total of 250 publications were found dealing with breeding (n = 61), sowing density and season (n = 14), irrigation (n = 36), fertilization (n = 27), intercropping (n = 12), soilless culture (n = 5), tillage (n = 7), rhizobia application (n = 36), biostimulant/biofertilizer application (n = 21), disease management (n = 15), pest management (n = 2) and weed management (n = 14). The leading research production sites were Asia and South America, whereas from the Australian continent, only four papers were identified as relevant. The keyword co-occurrence network analyses revealed that the main topics addressed in relation to common bean yield in the scientific literature related to that of “pod”, “grain”, “growth”, “cultivar” and “genotype”, followed by “soil”, “nitrogen”, “inoculation”, “rhizobia”, “environment”, and “irrigation”. Limited international collaboration among scientists was found, and most reported research was from Brazil. Moreover, there is a complete lack in interdisciplinary interactions. Breeding for increased yield and selection of genotypes adapted to semi-arid environmental conditions combined with the suitable sowing densities are important agronomic practices affecting productivity of common bean. Application of fertilizers and irrigation practices adjusted to the needs of the plants according to the developmental stage and selection of the appropriate tillage system are also of high importance to increase common bean yield and yield qualities. Reducing N-fertilization via improved N-fixation through rhizobia inoculation and/or biostimulants application appeared as a main consideration to optimise crop performance and sustainable management of this crop. Disease and weed management practices appear neglected areas of research attention, including integrated pest management.
