EFFECT OF FUNGICIDES AND INSECTICIDES ON Rhizobium AND Rhizobium COWPEA SYMBIOSIS

Abstract

Among the pesticides tested on the Rhizobium-cowpea symbiosis carbendazim-+ carbosulfan showed considerable increase on the growth of Rhizobium. Interestingly seed treatment with carbendazim, carbendazim + carbosulfan and carbosulfan was compatible with Rhizobium and had no inhibition on the nodulation. All the seed dressing pesticides along with Rhizobium inoculation exhibited better nodulation than the uninoculated control.

Keywords: Cowpea, Fungicides, Insecticides, Rhizobium
