Possible benefits of rhizobial inoculation and phosphorus supplementation on nutrition, growth and economic sustainability in grain legumes
TLDR
The potential role(s) of nitrogen from rhizobial inoculants and phosphorous in legumes growth with respect to growth, yield, economic benefits, photosynthesis and plant nutrition is given special attention in this review.Abstract:
It is documented that majority of soils in Africa have low levels of nitrogen and phosphorous and hence the capability to support plant growth such as leguminous crops is limited. The supply of these mineral nutrients is vital in enhancing legume growth and development. The potential role(s) of nitrogen from rhizobial inoculants and phosphorous in legumes growth with respect to growth, yield, economic benefits, photosynthesis and plant nutrition is given special attention in this review.read more

Critical review of the impact of cover crops on soil properties
TL;DR: In this article , a review of the contribution of cover crops to soil properties is presented, where the authors consider single and mixed cover crops and show that cover crops may enhance soil organic C and N accretion as well as increase availability of P, K, Ca, Fe and Mg in some soil types under certain climatic conditions.
