Abstract

The current information on Brazilian rhizobial diversity, concentrating especially on the microbial symbionts of tropical pulses, forage legumes, and legume trees, some of which are native to Brazil or of which Brazil is a major producer, is highlighted. These legume species are nodulated by a large number of currently known rhizobial genera, including both alpha and beta rhizobia, with widely varying nitrogen-fixing efficiencies. The rhizobial diversity is strongly affected by soil and climatic factors, as well as genetic variation among pulses. The greater diversity among rhizobia may allow the selection of more effective nitrogen-fixing strains which could be used as inexpensive inoculants to substitute/to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers.
