Greenhouse and multi-location experiments were conducted for two consecutive years to
investigate the effects of rhizobium on nodulation, biomass production and partitioning of …

Legume cover crops can play a valuable role in maintaining and increasing soil quality and
nitrogen availability, but are infrequently grown in the Upper Midwest due to short growing …

Aims Growers in northern US regions rely on winter annual legume cover crop symbiotic
nitrogen fixation (SNF) to reduce the need for spring fertilization and build soil organic …

The environmental benefits of cover cropping are widely recognized but there is a general
consensus that adoption levels are still quite low among US farmers. A survey was …

Background and aims Chickpea rhizobia did not occur naturally in Australian cropping soils,
necessitating inoculation at sowing. Now, after more than 30 years of chickpea cultivation …

Shifting cultivation (Jhum) involves the conversion of forest land to agricultural land, and two
successive Jhum cultivations in a patch of land make a Jhum cycle. Shortening of the cycle …

Aims The interaction between nitrogen (N) availability in the soil, rhizobia nodule formation
and leaf physiological traits of Robinia pseudoacacia L. was explored at initial nodule …

Aims To investigate phylogenetic and phenotypic diversity of resident chickpea-nodulating
rhizobia from Australian cropping soils. Methods Eighty Mesorhizobium strains collected …

Cover cropping with graminoids or legumes represents an important strategy in agricultural
production systems for the improvement of soil fertility and soil functioning. The organic …

Plant invasions can have major impacts on ecosystems, both above‐and belowground. In
particular, invasions by legumes, which often host nitrogen‐fixing symbionts (rhizobia), are …
