Soybean inoculation with effective rhizobial strains makes unnecessary the use of N-fertilizers in the tropics. A frequently reported problem is the failure of the inoculant strains to overcome the competition imposed by indigenous rhizobial populations. The screening of indigenous rhizobia, alre...

Isolation, characterization and selection of indigenous Bradyrhizobium strains with outstanding symbiotic performance to increase soybean yields in Mozambique.
Common bean [Phaseolus vulgaris (Linnaeus)] is the key source of protein, carbohydrates and micronutrients for over 300 million people in the tropics. Like many legumes, P. vulgaris can fix atmospheric nitrogen in symbiosis with rhizobia, alleviating the need for the expensive and polluting N-fer...

Grain legumes play a key role in smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), in relation to food and nutrition security and income generation. Moreover, because of their N2-fixation capacity, such legumes can also have a positive influence on soil fertility. Notwithstanding many deca...
