PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN TO SINGLE AND MULTISTRAIN RHIZOBIAL INOCULATION

Abstract

Under acid lateritic soil at Vamban, the seed bacterization of Rhizobium japonicum have significantly increased the nodulation, plant growth and yield attributes on soybean cultivars viz., CO 1 and KM 1. However, the Inoculation of R japonicum as multistrains gave a better symbiotic performance over single strain inoculation. Among the cultivars, CO 1 recorded better symbiotic performance that the KM 1 in exhibiting better nodulation, plant growth and grain yield under field condition.

Keywords: Soybean, Rhizobium, Symbiosis.
