Nitrogen fixation / rhizobia (legume-specific core)
Section titled “Nitrogen fixation / rhizobia (legume-specific core)”- Phaseolus fixes N with Rhizobium — do not over-apply N (it can suppress fixation). BNF yield response documented (candidates:
10.1007/978-94-011-2100-2_8,10.1007/978-94-011-2100-2_13). - Phosphorus × Rhizobium interaction at soil fertility (candidate
10.3390/agronomy16010002) — P and inoculum are interdependent. - Economics of BNF in bean/cowpea/mung (Brazil) —
10.1007/s11104-025-07613-1. - Inoculant decisions (inoculation vendor/viable local) —

Organic amendments / soil building
Section titled “Organic amendments / soil building”- Compost helps saline soils (cropin
10.1007/s40093-016-0141-7); organic amendments favorable.
Nitrogen decision at small scale
Section titled “Nitrogen decision at small scale”- Home grower: often add only P-K or soil organic matter; let rhizobia fix N.
