Cowpeas, peanuts and bambara groundnuts ( Vigna subterranea) are important pulses or dry grain legumes in the West of Africa; hence low cost technologies that increase their productivity could entail major nutritional and social impacts. Field experiments conducted in Ghana, in Africa, have shown 40% to 100% increments to production, after the use of rhizobium inoculants supplied by Embrapa.
In light of the above, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research's Savanna Agricultu ...

Northern Ghana is the most important region of this African country for the production of cereals and legumes, but the soils are degraded and lack nitrogen and phosphorus, basic nutrients for the growth of such crops. Previous projects therein had proven that the use of quality inoculants can improve nodulation and increase grain production by 30% to 50%. This project aimed to effectively increase the yields of cowpeas, peanuts and soybeans for smallholders in the region, based on the use of loc

Cowpea bean cultivars biofortified plants with high commercial value, with production potential for green beans and snap beans, define a plant ideotype for green bean production, and select strains of rhizobia and actinobacteria to promote increased productivity of selected cowpea genotypes .

Considering that the development of low-cost technologies such as the biofortification of cowpea bean cultivars and the co-inoculation of cowpea bean with rhizobium and other growth-pr
