Quantifying country-to-global scale nitrogen fixation for grain legumes
Background
We collated estimates of the percentage of legume N derived from atmospheric N
2
(%Ndfa) for 14 major grain legumes and then analysed and aggregated the data to derive average values for different crops and regions/countries. The effects of cultivation year and whether data collected from experimental plots were relevant to crops growing in farmers’ fields were examined.
Scope
A total of 5374 %Ndfa estimates (observations) were sourced, 4205 from field experiments and 1169 on-farm measurements collected from farmer-grown crops. The largest number of reports (82) and %Ndfa estimates (1391) were for soybean.
Conclusions
The %Ndfa estimates for each legume species were consistent across years, except for soybean in North America. For some species estimates were also similar across geographic regions. There were no significant differences (
P
> 0.05) between estimates of %Ndfa derived from experimental plots and farmer-grown legume crops for nine of the 10 crops evaluated. Three distinct groups were identified with statistically-similar average %Ndfa values with associated standard deviations, namely: pigeonpea, faba bean and lupin – 74±11.8 %; groundnut, green and black gram, cowpea, chickpea, field pea, lentil, vetches and Bambara groundnut – 62±13.4 %; common bean – 38±11.1 %. There were three distinct different regional groupings for soybean: Brazil – 78±6.3 %; North America, Argentina, Asia, Africa and Oceania – 61±14.0 %; Europe – 44±13.8 %. Our findings provide more certainty and simplify the challenge of using field-scale measures of legume %Ndfa to estimate country-to-global inputs of fixed N from grain legumes.

Jack and the beanstalk and the french fries
In this humorous version of the traditional tale, Jack's magic beanstalk produces so many beans that soon everyone in the village is sick of eating them, and mad at Jack, and when he climbs the beanstalk he finds that Mr. Giant is equally fed up with beans--but fortunately Mrs. Giant suggests a solution to their diet problem.

High-Moisture Meat Analogues Produced from Yellow Pea and Faba Bean Protein Isolates/Concentrate: Effect of Raw Material Composition and Extrusion Parameters on Texture Properties
Yellow pea and faba bean are potential candidates to replace soybean-based ingredients due to their suitability for cultivation in the northern hemisphere, non-genetically modified organisms cultivation practice and low risk of allergenicity. This study examined the functionality of local yellow pea and faba bean protein isolates/concentrate as meat analogue products. The most critical factors affecting the texture properties of meat analogue were also determined. Extrusion was used to produce high-moisture meat analogues (HMMAs) from yellow pea and faba bean protein isolates/concentrates and HMMAs with fibrous layered structures was successfully produced from both imported commercial and local sources. The texture properties of the HMMA produced were mainly affected by the ash, fiber and protein content and water-holding capacity of the source protein. Three extrusion process parameters (target moisture content, extrusion temperature, screw speed), also significantly affected HMMA texture. In conclusion, functional HMMA can be produced using protein isolates derived from locally grown pulses.

Quantification of Phenolic and Flavonoid Content, Antioxidant Activity, and Proximate Composition of Some Legume Seeds Grown in Nepal
This study was carried out to evaluate some legume seeds growing in Nepal for their proximate composition, quantification of total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents, and in vitro, antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. These included legume grains such as chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), pea (Pisum sativum), mung bean (Vigna mungo), lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), broad bean (Vicia faba), lentil (Lens culinaris), soybean (Glycine max), and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The legume seeds were ground to make the flour which was extracted with methanol. The phenolic and flavonoid content was estimated by Folin-Ciocalteu’s phenol and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods. The in vitro antioxidant and antidiabetic activity was evaluated by using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging and α-amylase enzyme inhibition assay. The different legumes showed considerable variations in their phenolic contents (30.64±1.50 mg·GAE/g to 46.65±1.25 mg·GAE/g legume seeds). Similarly, the total flavonoid contents showed 135.5±10.88 mg·QE/g to 191.7±8.73 mg·QE/g legume seeds. The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated in IC50 which ranged from 31.60±0.06 μg/mL to 69.74±0.89 μg/mL. The α-amylase inhibition was evaluated in IC50 which ranged from 217.38 μg/mL to 425.75 μg/mL as compared to the standard acarbose of 52.76 μg/mL. This study suggested that legumes are good sources of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats mainly for vegetarian people. The selection of the right legume species could be a good source of natural antioxidants and antidiabetics for nutraceutical uses and the beneficial effects of legumes from human health perspectives. Legume seeds growing in Nepal could be used as a sustainable and cheap meat alternative and are considered the most important food source.

Changes in soil phosphorus fractions in response to long-term phosphate fertilization under sole cropping and intercropping of maize and faba bean on a calcareous soil
Background and aims
Understanding how soil phosphorus (P) fractions change is critical to achieve more efficient soil P use in a highly P-sorbing calcareous soil.
Methods
The fields were managed without or with annual P fertilizer (40 kg P ha
− 1
), continuously growing sole cropping or intercropping of maize and faba bean. Soil samples (0–200 mm) were collected at the start of the experiment and eight years later, and we evaluated P fractions using sequential fractionation.
Results
Maize/faba bean intercropping had an average land equivalent ratio (LER) of 1.2, a similar P content as sole maize, while both acquired more P than sole faba bean. Compared with the original soil P fractions in 2009, three cropping systems, regardless of P fertilization, depleted the labile P pool (Resin-P and NaHCO

), while Residual-P and NaHCO

accumulated. Eight years of no P input showed sole maize mainly depleted NaOH-P

and conc. HCl-P

, sole faba bean depleting NaOH-P
o
, while intercropping depleted the most abundant P fraction, 1 M HCl-P

, in addition to NaOH-P

. However, long-term P application caused the cropping systems to accumulate 1 M HCl-P

while depleting the conc. HCl-P

fraction; both sole faba bean and intercropping showed accumulation of NaOH-P

.
Conclusions
Long-term appropriate P input enhanced the mineralization of mod-labile and non-labile organic P and accumulation of mod-labile inorganic P. Sole maize consistently depleted inorganic P and sole faba bean without P input depleted organic P, while intercropping accessed P pools varying with P input.
