Role of Phosphorus and Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium in Enhancing Soybean Production by Akello Mirriam, Jayne Mugwe, Jamal Nasar, Oscar Kisaka, Shivani Ranjan, Harun Gitari

“…The major bottleneck to the crop’s production is the decreasing soil fertility, mainly caused by low nitrogen (N) but also phosphorus (P) levels in the soil. There is a high potential for supplying N from the atmosphere through biological N fixation (BNF), a natural process mediated by the symbiotic bacteria Bradyrhizobium japonicum, which requires optimum P levels for effective N fixation and increased yield. …”
