Effect of Sodium Molybdate Incorporation on the Efficiency of Lignite as a Carrier Material

Abstract

The effect of sodium molybdate was studied at 10, 20 and 30 per cent concentrations in lignite carrier. An augmentation in the efficiency of symbiosis was observed in groundnut in which the seeds were treated with the lignite-based Rhizobium inoculant immediately after incorporation of the chemical at 10 and 20 per cent levels. The highest concentration (30 per cent) exerted inhibitory effect on symbiosis. Incubation of the lignite-based Rhizobium inoculant with sodium molybdate exerted inhibitory effect on the survival of rhizobia.
