Table 5. Prioritized combinations of humic substances and nitrogen-fixing bacteria under specific environmental conditions with
Impact score (1–5) 5 4 4 3 3 2 1
Agronomic outcomes Nodulation ↑ (20–40%), shoot/root biomass ↑, yield ↑ (10–25%), depending on cultivar and conditions Root mass (25%), photosynthetic rate (15%), yield (20%) ↑ Grain yield (27–40%), ↑ shoot/root biomass, ↑ residual N in soil ↑ Nitrogenase activity (up to 35%), ↑ nodulation, ↑ symbiotic efficiency Germination rate (20%), shoot nitrogen content Biomass (18%), grain yield (12%) Emergence rate (10%), early growth (15%)
Physiological effects Enhanced nodulation, root growth, microbial colonization, N fixation Auxin-like activity, antioxidant enzyme expression ↑ Nitrogenase activity (up to 25%), ↑ chlorophyll biosynthesis, ↑ nodulation Acts as an extracellular electron mediator; enhances nod gene activation Osmoregulation support, membrane stability Improves Fe/Mn uptake, induces siderophore production Exopolysaccharide production, improved aggregate stability Ab
Environmental condition Field soils; not specifically acidic Drought-stressed soils Water-limited semi-arid soils Likely oxygen-limited microzones in soil (inferred) Saline soils (EC > 4 dS/m) Calcareous soils (CaCO 3 > 15%) Heavy clay soils Note: Impact score reflects expert-based prioritization based on agronomic outcomes and field performance (scale: 1–5).
