Effective factors on biological nitrogen fixation (2012, background): “Although the micro-symbiont appears more pH sensitive than the host partner (Hungria and Vargas, 2000), acidity also influences both the growth of the legume plant and the infection process.”
Nitrogen fixation with the soybean crop in Brazil: Compatibility between seed treatment with fungicides and bradyrhizobial inoculants (2009, background): “…plant and the bacterial strains have been reported for the soybean crop in Brazil, but any factor which may reduce the population of inoculated bradyrhizobia on the seed surface will have direct effects on the biological N2 fixation process (Hungria and Vargas, 2000; Hungria et al., 2005, 2006a).”
Advances in Host Plant and Rhizobium Genomics to Enhance Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Grain Legumes (2015, background): “temperatures can affect N2 fixation by reducing the viability of rhizobia in the soil (Hungria and Vargas, 2000); and in a study with R.”
Recovery of soybean inoculant strains from uncropped soils in Brazil (2002, background): “Second, that environmental conditions of the tropics, including high temperatures, drought and low soil fertility may lead to variability among naturalized strains (Hungria and Vargas, 2000).”
Molybdenum-enriched soybean seeds enhance N accumulation, seed yield, and seed protein content in Brazil (2009, background): “However, many factors can reduce the efficiency of BNF, especially edaphic constraints such as soil acidity, high temperatures, drought, and low soil fertility (Hungria and Vargas, 2000).”
Yield and economic benefits of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and soybean (Glycine max) inoculation in northern Tanzania (2006, background): “Limiting factors such as the diversity or paucity of native (brady)rhizobial populations in soil can also affect legume performance and grain yield (Anyango et al. 1995; Frey and Blum 1994; Gemell and Roughley 1993; Hungria and Vargas 2000; Ndakidemi et al. 1998).”
Elevated Temperature and Carbon Dioxide Effects on Soybean Seed Composition and Transcript Abundance (2003, background): “Hungria and Vargas (2000) stress the vulnerability of rhizobial strainstrend continues up to 44/34 C.”
Legumes in the reclamation of marginal soils, from cultivar and inoculant selection to transgenic approaches (2011, background): “In tropical Brazilian soils, nodulation of common bean and other legumes is usually poor, this failure being attributed to high soil temperature, and rhizobial temperature tolerance is not always closely related to the geographical origin of a strain (Hungria and Vargas 2000 and references therein).”
ALLEVIATION OF ADVERSE IMPACT OF SALINITY ON FABA BEAN (VICIA FABA L.) BY ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (2014, background): “Cultivation of faba bean has been reported to increase the soil nitrogen compounds to a greater level (Hungria & Vargas, 2000).”
