Rhizobia can be a smart practical solution for both soil health recovery and/or sustainable intensification as well as an interesting business opportunity. The availability of elite rhizobial strains in the market is limited and there is relevant space for the development of selected inoculants for the Mediterranean environment.
The solution can be used in different socio-agricultural scenarios characterized by both limited and not limited resource input.
Maximizing the adoption of this solution among end-users (e.g., farmers) firstly requires suitable communication and dissemination actions. Many farmers are not aware of the possibility offered by legume seeds inoculation by rhizobia. Little technical competencies are required, seed inoculation is easy and effective when rhizobia are suitably distributed on the seeds. Seed inoculation with selected rhizobia is limited.
A limited technical competence is require to maximize the effectivenes of this practical solution which is easy to use and has reduced costs.
