Overview

Controlled trial demonstrates enhanced yield in common beans using microbial co-inoculation with swine waste compost, highlighting sustainable nitrogen alternatives.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of co-inoculating Rhizobium tropici and Rhizophagus clarus paired with varying doses of swine wastewater compost on common bean growth, nodulation, and grain yield.
  • Conducted a greenhouse experiment using a completely randomized design with seven replicates per treatment.
  • Tested five application rates of swine wastewater compost (0.0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 t ha⁻¹) combined with microbial co-inoculation against an uninoculated mineral NPK control.
  • Evaluated vegetative growth, shoot and root biomass, chlorophyll levels, nodule count and dry weight, mycorrhizal colonization rates, protein content, and final grain yield.
  • Co-inoculation with Rhizobium tropici and Rhizophagus clarus combined with swine wastewater compost increased grain yield by up to 78% relative to standard mineral NPK fertilization.
  • Treated plants exhibited improvements across chlorophyll content, total biomass accumulation, and root nodulation efficiency compared to mineral control conditions.
