Intercropping is an adapted farming system to optimize resource-use efficiency and crop yield, particularly in low input agricultural systems. Due the beneficial eco-agricultural effects of grain legumes, their integration mixed cropping systems such as intercropping can be more soil fertility, functioning, nutrient cycling. About 16–22% world's food provided by On smallholder farms Eastern Southern Africa, legumes has potential increase maize (Zea mays) production up 35% (e.g., Maize-pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) intercropping). Legume-based also promote rhizobacterial community diversity health enhancing symbiotic non-symbiotic population. In rhizosphere, bacterial required improve growth both intercrops due several "direct indirect" mechanisms involving plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). This review aims highlight importance legume-based root-associated microorganisms particular emphasis on rhizobacteria; since whole "crop-crop-microorganism" agro-physiological performance. study discusses key role being fully synergistic with PGPR contributing yield stability under stressful conditions, notably drought deficiency.
