Nodulation And Nitrogen Fixation Potential Of Sesbania Spp. Rhizobia On Sesbania Sesban (l.) Merr. And Rose Coco (phaseolus Vulgaris L.)

ABSTRACT Global crop and energy production are fast dwindling inversely to population growth. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield has reduced worldwide due to soil infertility which can be reversed through application of chemical fertilizers. The chemical fertilizers used to ameliorate nitrogen, phoshorus and potassium are expensive and cause both deleterious physico‒chemical modification of soil and water mass eutrophication. The common bean has ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen symbiotically with rhizobia but only a few effective strains have been recovered from African soils, most …
