Legumes in the reclamation of marginal soils, from cultivar and inoculant selection to transgenic approaches (2011, background): “High yields without the added costs of nitrogen fertilization are becoming a must for precarious economies (Chianu et al. 2010, and references therein), whereas chemical-free, organic foods and feed are in increasing demand in advanced societies.”
Advances in Host Plant and Rhizobium Genomics to Enhance Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Grain Legumes (2015, background): “…carbon status; reduce the incidence of pest and diseases in cropping systems; and increase the overall productivity and economic benefits of the production systems they are part of (Dwivedi et al., 2005; Peoples et al., 2009; K€opke and Nemecek, 2010; Chianu et al., 2011; Lupwayi et al., 2011).”
