e0“Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the most efficient nitrogen-fixing legumes that can meet all of their N needs through BNF”
e2“In the first season (2012/2013), inoculation of field-grown faba bean showed significant improvements in seed yield (3.73–4.36 ton·ha−1) and seed N-yield (138–153 Kg N·ha−1), which were higher than the uninoculated control (48 kg N·ha−1) that produced 2.97 Kg·ha−1 and 95 kg N·ha−1, respectively”

- Intervention effect Under greenhouse conditions, inoculated faba bean had higher nodule dry weight, plant biomass and shoot N-uptake than non-inoculated plants.
- Intervention effect In the first season (2012/2013), inoculation increased field faba bean seed yield to 3.73–4.36 ton·ha−1, higher than the uninoculated control.
- Intervention effect In the second season (2013/2014), inoculation improved faba bean seed yield to 3.16–4.68 ton·ha−1 relative to the uninoculated control.
- Intervention effect In the second season (2013/2014), inoculation improved seed N-yield to 98–155 Kg N·ha−1 relative to the uninoculated control.
- Intervention effect Faba bean inoculated with strain Rlv NGB-FR 126 showed increased seed yield (35%–48%) over the inorganic N fertilizer treatment across two cropping seasons.
- Intervention effect Faba bean inoculated with strain Rlv NGB-FR 126 showed increased seed N-yield (34%–49%) over the inorganic N fertilizer treatment across two cropping seasons.
- Recommendation Inoculation with effective rhizobial strains can reduce the need for inorganic N fertilization to achieve higher faba bean crop yield under low fertility soil conditions.
- Observation Five of the tested Rhizobium/Agrobacterium strains had high nitrogen-fixing capacity under greenhouse conditions.
