Introduction: Some comments about a better use of biological nitrogen fixation in rice cultivation.- 1. Rhizobial biofertilizers: the most promising BNF technology for increased grain legume production in Bangladesh.- 2. Effect of heavy metals on legume—Rhizobium symbiosis.- 3. Effect of straw incorporation on soil N-pool in submerged rice.- 4. The use of organic residues in increasing crop production in a wheat—mungbean—T. Aman cropping system on red-brown terrace soils.- 5. Leguminous green manures in rice-based cropping systems.- 6. Use of green manuring crops in rice fields for sustainable production in Bangladesh agriculture.- 7. Prospect of dhaincha (Sesbania rostrata) intercropping with T. Aus in a T. Aus—T. Aman cropping pattern.- 8. Pedology of the rice soils of Bangladesh.- 9. Does Azolla have any future in agriculture?.- 10. Utilization of Azolla in rice production in West Africa: potentials and constraints.- 11. Cultivation and uses of Azolla in Egypt.- 12. Estimation of nitrogen fixation in Azolla—rice association using 15N isotope dilution.- 13. Prospect and potentiality of cyanobacteria as an alternative source of nitrogen fertilizer in Bangladesh rice cultivation.- 14. Contribution of cyanobacterization to rice growth and performance under different field stand densities and levels of combined nitrogen.- 15. Ecological aspects of cyanobacteria from the rice fields of Corrientes (Argentina).- 16. Contribution of biological nitrogen fixation to rice production in a Mediterranean rice field.- 17. Enrichment of indigenous blue—green algal population in rice fields and evaluation of its effect in rice culture.- 18. Abundance and isolation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the major rice soils of Bangladesh.- 19. Burkholderia vietnamiensis, a newnitrogen-fixing species associated with rice roots, isolated from an acid sulphate soil in Vietnam: plant-growth-promoting effects on rice.- 20. SpecifiCity of root colonization by symplasmata-forming Pantoea agglomerans.- 21. Nitrogen fixation by Azospirillum brasilense isolated from rice fields of Bangladesh.- 22. Biotechnological aspects of diazotrophic bacteria associated with rice.- 23. Azospirillum phylogeny based on 16S rRNA sequences.- 24.
