Abstract:
Grain legumes are important source of food and feed as they are plant protein sources. They also contribute to soil fertility improvement through biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia by microorganisms in root nodules of legume plants. Rhizobia are the bacteria associated symbiotically with legumes and fix atmospheric nitrogen to the host plant. This article illustrates the importance of rhizobia inoculation to legumes in many aspects. Inoculating legume seeds with rhizobia improves shoot and root growth, shoot and root biomass accumulation, seeds per pod, pods per plant, grain yield and straw yield. Rhizobial inoculation of legumes also plays a vital role in acquisition of plant nutrients such as: biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, mobilization of macro and micro plant nutrients. Additionally rhizobial inoculation has functions like: disease suppression in grain legumes (root rot; chocolate spot etc), soil fertility enhancement, economic benefits and mitigation of climate change.
