Peanut is a key component of Senegal's predominantly cereal-based farming systems, but its production is challenged by low soil fertility. Rhizobial inoculation is a promising strategy to improve crop yield and reduce the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers. The aim of this study was to isolate the most specific and effective bradyrhizobial strain...

The aim of this study was to isolate the most specific and effective arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for groundnut and to determine the degree of variability in the response of groundnut varieties to inoculation. The seeds of five varieties: 55-437, Fleur 11, Sunu Gaal, Amoul Morom, and Essamaay were inoculated individually with five AMF (Funnel...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been proposed as biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture. Nevertheless, many of the delivery approaches for these beneficial microorganisms have the disadvantage of limited applicability. The study aim was to evaluate the fertilizing potential of seed coating...

Soil properties and microbial activities are indicators that shape plant communities and evolution. We aimed to determine the interdependency between trees, belowground herbaceous plants, soil characteristics, and arbuscular mycorrhizal communities. Vachellia seyal and Prosopis chilensis and their associated herb layers were targeted. Soils sampled...

The semi-arid Sahelian region of Africa, characterized by its deleterious agro-climatic conditions, is also subject to agricultural overexploitation to support human and livestock food. This situation has strongly accentuated the continuous degradation of arable land. However, green biotechnologies are often proposed to promote more sustainable agr...

We aimed to develop a coating process for maize and sorghum in order to simplify the application of microbial fertilizers and increase seed resistance against insects. The coating is a thin layer of Rhizophagus fasciculatus and Rhizophagus aggregatus spores and Leifsonia sp. applied on the surface of seeds using three Arabic gum solutions as glue m...

Man-made forest systems are usually focused upon the trees and are defined mainly in relation to their capacity to produce timber and prevent catastrophic events such as damage by wind. In recent years, however, there has been a growing awareness amongst plant ecologists and soil microbial ecologists that understanding the connectivity between thei...

Several fast-growing and multipurpose tree species such as exotic and valuable native species have been widely used in West Africa. These man-made forest plantations usually focused upon the trees and are defined mainly in relation to their capacity to produce timber and prevent catastrophic events such as damage by wind. In recent years, however,...

Several fast-growing and multipurpose tree species have been widely used in West Africa to both reverse the tendency of land degradation and restore soil productivity. Although beneficial effects have been reported on soil stabilization, there still remains a lack of information about their impact on soil microorganisms. Our investigation has been...

Several fast-growing and multipurpose trees such as exotic and valuable native species have been widely used in West Africa to reverse the tendency of massive degradation of plant cover and restore soil productivity. Although benefic effects have been reported on soil stabilization, a lack of information about their impact on soil symbiotic microor...

Exotic and native tree species have been widely used in the West Africa to reverse the tendency of land degradation. Although benefic effects have been reported on soil stabilization, a lack of information about their impact on soil symbiotic microorganisms still remains. This investigation has been carried out in a semiarid Sahel region and aimed...

The aim of this investigation was to isolate the most specific, effective and competitive strains for peanut, and to determine the level of variability in peanut cultivars response toward single/dual inoculation. Peanut seeds of three cultivars namely 55–437, Fleur 11 and 69–101 were inoculated with two bradyrhizobial strains (LMG9283 and USDA3187)...

Many fast growing tree species have been introduced to promote biodiversity rehabilitation on degraded tropical lands. Although it has been shown that plant productivity and stability are dependent on the composition and functionalities of soil microbial communities, more particularly on the abundance and diversity of soil symbiotic micro-organisms...

The purpose of this study was to test the capacity of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus, Scleroderma bermudense, to alleviate saline stress in seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera L.) seedlings. Plants were grown over a range (0, 200, 350 and 500 mM) of NaCl levels for 12 weeks, after 4 weeks of non-saline pre-treatment under greenhouse conditions. Growth an...

The aim of this study was to use several approaches to assess the diversity occuring in a collection of rhizobial strains that had been isolated from Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp. originating from Kenya, Reunion Island and New Caledonia. Results showed that G. sepium establishes an effective symbiosis only with fast-growing rhizobia. This suggest...
