I. Biological Nitrogen Fixation in the Mediterranean Region --; The role of pasture and forage legumes in livestock based farming systems --; Food legumes in the Mediterranean type of environment --; Development of a regional program on biological nitrogen fixation to enhance agricultural production in the near east --; Maximizing biological nitrogen fixation by forage and pasture legumes in semi-arid areas --; The use of biological nitrogen fixation to develop livestock and cereal production in Morocco --; Annual forage legumes in the arid and semi-arid regions of Turkey --; The role of legumes in agricultural production in Cyprus --; Woody legumes in arid and semi-arid zones: the Rhizobium-Prosopis chiliensis symbiosis --; Biological nitrogen fixation research on grain legumes in Ethiopia: an overview --; The status of biological nitrogen fixation research in Lebanon --; II. Genetic and Physiological Aspects of Legumes and Rhizobia --; Analysis of the host genes controlling the legume-Rhizobium symbiosis: some technical problems and pitfalls --; Cloning gene(s) for competition nodulation blocking on Afghanistan peas from Rhizobium leguminosarum --; Physiology and genetics of Rhizobium nodulating chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) --; Rhizobium strains from wild and primitive legumes: a nuisance or valuable gene pool? --; Host-Rhizobium relationships and their implications for legume breeding --; Infection, development and functioning of nodules under drought and salinity --; The role of mycorrhiza in improving the establishment and function of the Rhizobium --; legume system under field conditions --; III. Ecology of Rhizobium and Inoculation --; Ecological aspects of the root-nodule bacteria: competition and survival --; The microbial aspects of faba bean culture --; Numerical effects of Rhizobium population on legume symbiosis --; Identification and characterization of rhizobia using the ELISA technique --; Selection of Rhizobium strains --; Selection of rhizobia for inoculation of forage legumes in savanna and rainforest soils of tropical America --; Field performance of rhizobial inoculants for some important legumes in Egypt --; Effect of Rhizobium inoculation, lime and addition of molybdenum on the yield of Vicia faba --; Seed inoculation and inoculant technology --; Legume inoculants; their technology and application --; Inoculant production in Turkey --; IV. Nitrogen Fixation Limitations and Potential --; The role of legume, Rhizobium and environment in nitrogen fixation: constraints on symbiotic potential and their removal --; Influence of some agroclimatic factors and agronomic practices on nitrogen nutrition of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) --; Effect of edaphic factors on biological nitrogen fixation in Vicia fabae under Egyptian field conditions --; Biological nitrogen fixation by faba bean, lentil and chickpea in the traditional versus the new areas of the Sudan --; Measurement of nitrogen fixation by the acetylene reduction assay: myths and mysteries --; The use of 15N enriched fertilizers for estimating nitrogen fixation in grain and pasture legumes --; Isotope dilution as a method for measuring nitrogen transfer from forage legumes to grasses --; Extension/transfer of BNF technology --; V.
