Declining soil fertility due to inadequate nitrogen in most soils limits farmers’ goals of increasing yield. There is environmental and agricultural benefit of reducing dependence on nitrogen fertilizer by emphasizing adaptation of favorable farming practices that minimize nitrogen fertilizer. Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] and lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.)] are pulses with potential for grain, forage, and cover crops in the Midwest of United States, but little is known about their growth, development, and productivity potential in Iowa. We conducted a two-year field study to determine the influence of rhizobia inoculation and fungicide seed treatment of selected pulses. The objectives of this study were to i) determine the influence of fungicide seed treatment and inoculation on nodulation and nitrogen fixation of four pulses; soybean ‘92Y82’, cowpeas (‘CA46’ and ‘Top Crop’) and lablab ‘Rongai’ and ii) determine the effect of fungicide seed treatment and Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation on grain yield and aboveground biomass of the crops. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in a factorial of four pulse crops with and without rhizobium inoculation and a fungicide seed treatment. Although several research studies indicated that fungicide seed treatment and inoculation with Bradyrhizobium affected nodulation, nitrogen fixation and yield components, we found no significant effects of fungicide seed treatment and Bradyrhizobium inoculation on pulse grain yield. The role of legumes worldwide includes food, nutrition and income generation among others. Malnutrition especially in children is common in many developing countries, leading to severe stunting and death in addition to high macro and micro nutrient deficiencies which legumes can
