Abstract : Wild herb legumes play an important role in agriculture because of their nitrogen fixing ability and genetic resources> Wild annual legumes at BeniSuef Governorate, Egypt were studied for their nodulation stsus, nitrogen fixation and their chemical composition> The nodulation percentage of the recorded wild legumes was between 70 % and 100 %> The highest nodule formation rate (nodule No) occurred in Trifolium resupinatum and Melilotus indicus, about 92 and 53 nodule per plant respectively. M. indicus, V. sativa and M. intertexta produced root nodules with higher mass (fresh weight). The most effective N fixing species were M. intertexta and M. indicus. The structure of nodules from most of the wild herb legumes showed the characterstic features of indeterminate nodules (with an apical merestematic tissue). All studied wild legume species showed higher content of both vitamin B6 and B2 compared to cultivated species. From our results we recommend the cultivation of these wild legumes in reclaimed areas in Egypt because they will improve soil fertility and can be used as animal fodder
