Isolates of Rhizobium phaseoli resistant to spergon (2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-l,4-benzoquinone), Rhizobium meliloti resistant to thiram (tetramethylthiuram disulfide) and of a cowpea Rhizobium resistant to phygon (2,3-dichloro-l,4-naphthoquinone) were obtained by culturing the bacteria in media with increasing concentrations of these fungicides. The cultures grew in media with 200 μg thiram ml?1, 150 μg spergon ml?1 or 400 μg phygon ml?1. Spergon-tolerant R. phaseoli was sensitive to thiram, and thiram-tolerant R. meliloti was sensitive to spergon. The dry weights of beans, alfalfa and cowpeas and the amount of N2 fixed were the same for plants inoculated with the fungicide-resistant or the sensitive parent rhizobia. However, when the three parent Rhizobium strains were applied to seeds treated with the three fungicides, the plants that developed were stunted, chlorotic, grew poorly and fixed little or no N2. By contrast, beans, alfalfa or cowpea plants derived from seeds coated with spergon, thiram or phygon and inoculated with the resistant rhizobia grew as well and fixed as much N2 as legumes derived from seeds not treated with the pesticides. These findings provide the basis for a simple method for simultaneously allowing for N2 fixation and seed protection of legumes.  相似文献

Effects of heavy metals on rhizobia and the symbiotic association with leguminous hosts are currently unclear. To investigate this problem, we examined Rhizobium meliloti (microsymbiont) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) (macrosymbiont) collected from soils contaminated with varying concentrations of heavy metals (varying distances from a Zn smelter operating 90 yr.). Soil populations of R. meliloti were not correlated with metal concentrations in soil. The lowest rhizobial population was found in the soil with the highest extractable metal concentrations, but the highest populations were found in soil which was moderately contaminated. A greenhouse study in which alfalfa was grown in the same soils showed no significant trend for nodulation or nitrogenase activity of roots. Highest nodule number and nitrogenase activity were observed in those soils which had the lowest population of R. meliloti. When the heavy metal Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of individual isolates was examined, no correlation was found between the MIC and soil metal concentration (total, or water or 0.01 M Ca(NO3)2 extractable).These results indicate that even in highly contaminated soils, metal activity was not high enough to exert an antagonistic influence on the soil rhizobial population or the symbiotic association between alfalfa and R. meliloti.  相似文献

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to determine the effect of matrine on the migration and the colonization dynamics of the two fluorescent-tagged rhizobia in Gannong No.5 alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. Gannong No. 5) tissues, and also to determine the effect of the combination treatments on alfalfa seedlings’ growth.

Materials and methods: 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg L?1 matrine levels were added into two cyan fluorescent protein (CFP)-tagged rhizobia; Ensifer meliloti LZgn5f (gn5f) and Ensifer meliloti 12531f (12531f), respectively; and drenched the alfalfa root with the inoculants. Then the migration and colonization of the two rhizobia in alfalfa on D7, D14, D21 and D28, and subsequently seedling growth were investigated.

Results: The results showed that the optimum matrine level enhanced the colonization of both fluorescent-tagged rhizobia in alfalfa roots and the highest colonization densities of log 6.31 cfu g?1 and log 5.87 cfu g?1 were achieved by adding 300 mg L?1 matrine into 12531f and adding 100 mg L?1 matrine into gn5f, respectively. They could migrate to the aerial tissues and most colonize stems through the application of adding 300 mg L?1 matrine into 12531f and 100 mg L?1 matrine into gn5f, respectively. No fluorescent-tagged rhizobia were detected in the control treatment. Alfalfa seedling growth parameters like leaf chlorophyll content, seedling growth rate, root length, seedling biomass and total N percentage also increased the most when 300 mg L?1 matrine was added into 12531f and 100 mg L?1 matrine added into gn5f treatments.

Conclusions: Our results suggest that 300 mg L?1 matrine added into 12531f and 100 mg L?1 matrine added into gn5f might be exploited to promote the colonization of rhizobia in alfalfa tissue and positively impact growth and yield, indicating possible benefits for plant cultivation.  相似文献

Developmentally specific expression of Rhizobium spp. genes involved in symbiotic N2 fixation is known to operate through cascade regulation of various nif and fix operons. Fusion constructs of lacZ under symbiotic promoters P1 (for nifHDK operon) and P2 (for fixABCX operon) of Rhizobium meliloti were mobilized into Rhizobium spp. (Cicer) strains Rcd301 and RCR13. The assays for -galactosidase activity to monitor the expression of lacZ under these promoters was performed in host backgrounds of Escherichia coli, R. meliloti, and Rhizobium spp. (Cicer). The enzyme assays indicated significant levels of expression from P1 and P2 promoters in chickpea rhizobia, specifically in symbiotic cells from nodules. However, as in R. meliloti, these promoters did not induce strong expression in free-living cells of Rhizobium spp. (Cicer). This indicates functional homology of R. meliloti promoters in rhizobium spp. (Cicer). Functional cross-reactivity of trans regulatory factors like NtrA, NtrC, and NifA between these rhizobia seems evident from the nodule-specific expression of P1 and P2 cis elements.  相似文献

A major constraint to the renovation of forage legume‐based pastures on acidic soils of the Appalachian hill‐lands is thought to be the absence of effective rhizobia. A growth chamber experiment was done with aluminum (Al) toxic, low pH (≥ 4.2) soils from four series (Berks, Lily, Tate, and Westmoreland) that were planted with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.), or birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.). These soils, without lime addition, were previously shown not to contain effective, naturalized populations of rhizobia for these plant species. However, a non‐toxic, pH 6.8, Watauga soil was shown to have such rhizobia but only for alfalfa. In the present study, these five soils were reexamined after liming to pH ≥ 5.5 for effective, naturalized populations of rhizobia and the efficacy of soil inoculation with commercially available rhizobia. In addition to effective, naturalized R. meliloti for alfalfa in the Watauga soil, similar populations of R. trifolii for red clover, and R. lotus for birdsfoot trefoil, were now found. Such rhizobia were also found for alfalfa in the Lily soil and for red clover in the Lily and Tate soil. Thus, liming allowed the expression of effectiveness of natural rhizobia that otherwise would not have been detected in soil pot experiments without lime. Inoculation of the toxic soils after lime addition with commercial rhizobia was effective in about half of the soil‐plant combinations that did not contain populations of effective, naturalized rhizobia. Asymbiotic shoot growth of all the plant species was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) correlated with soil pH over a range of 5.5–6.6. These results indicate that, in the absence of effective, naturalized populations of rhizobia, improvement of rhizobial inocula could increase forage production by ～34% for some species on some of the toxic soils, even after the pH of the soils is increased to ≥ 5.5.  相似文献

Nine effective Rhizobium strains of winged bean were tested for their symbiotic performance under different soil pH levels. In general, they performed best at soil pH 5.5. The performance of all the strains was poor when soil pH was either extremely low as 4.5 or high as 7.5. The strains RRIM 56, KUL-JN, KUL-Z3 were suitable for soils with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.0. The strains KUL-Z1, KUL-Z2 and KUL-GP could be only used in soils with a pH of 5.5. The strains KUL-BH, KUL-6.2Z and KUL-6.9Z could be used for inoculation of soils with high pH. Isolating strains of Rhizobium by altering the original pH of the soil of Rhizobium isolation would be a good practice to obtain strains with desirable pH tolerance.  相似文献

The average number of survivors of fast-growing medic rhizobia (3 strains), fast-growing Rhizobium leguminosarum types (6 strains) and slow-growing species (9 strains) following desiccation of sandy soil inoculated with 106 bacteria·g?1 soil was 727, 795 and 15,682 bacteria·g?1 soil, respectively. Survival in desiccated sandy soil was not influenced by the degree of extracellular polysaccharide production in strains of R. trifolii, nor was it influenced by growth of R. meliloti and slow-growing species in media of low water activity before desiccation in sandy soil.A progressive increase in numbers of fast-growing bacteria surviving desiccation was observed in sandy soil amended with increasing concentrations of powdered montmorillonite, but not with mont-morillonite added as a suspension to the soil. The clay had either a detrimental effect or no effect on the survival of the slow-growing rhizobia. Maltose, sucrose and polyvinylpyrrolidonc provided a greater degree of protection to both fast- and slow-growing rhizobia than was obtained with montmorillonite. The effect of polyethylene glycol 6000 was similar to the effect of montmorillonite, as the polymer only protected the fast-growing rhizobia and not the slow-growing species.  相似文献

We have evaluated the genetic diversity and phylogeny of alfalfa rhizobia, originating from different types of soils in Serbia and their ability to establish an effective symbiosis with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). A collection of 65 strains isolated from root nodules of alfalfa were characterized by rep-PCR analysis, partial and complete 16S rDNA gene and recA gene sequencing, as well as atpD gene sequencing and DNA–DNA hybridizations. The results of the sequence analyses revealed that Sinorhizobium meliloti is the dominant species in alfalfa nodules. Only one strain was identified as Sinorhizobium medicae, two strains as Rhizobium tibeticum and one strain as Rhizobium sp. Despite the fact that the majority of strains were identified as S. meliloti, a high genetic diversity at strain level was detected. Almost all isolates shared the ability to nodulate and fix nitrogen with M. sativa, except 11 of them, which were incapable of fixing nitrogen with this species. About 50% of the isolates showed values of symbiotic effectiveness (SE) above 50%, while 10% of the strains were highly effective with SE values above 70%. Some of the strains which were highly effective in nitrogen fixation at the same time could intensively solubilize phosphates, offering a possibility for multipurpose inoculum development. This was the first genetic study of rhizobia isolated from this region and also the first report of natural presence of R. tibeticum in root nodules of M. sativa.  相似文献

Summary Soil solarization greatly reduced the native chickpea Rhizobium population. With inoculation, it was possible to increase the population of the Rhizobium in solarized plots. In the 1st year, 47% nodulation was obtained with chickpea inoculant strain IC 59 when introduced with a cereal crop 2 weeks after the soil solarization and having a native Rhizobium count of <10 g-1 soil, and only 13% when introduced 16 weeks after solarization at the time the chickpeas were sown, with 2.0×102 native rhizobia g-1 soil. In the non-solarized plots inoculated with 5.6×103 native rhizobia g-1 soil, only 6% nodulation was obtained with the inoculant. In the succeeding year, non-inoculated chickpea was grown on the same plots without any solarization or Rhizobium inoculation. The treatment that showed good establishment of the inoculant strain in year 1 formed 68% inoculant nodules. Other treatments indicated a further reduction in inoculant success, from 1%–13% to 1%–9%. Soil solarization thus allowed an inoculant strain to successfully displace the high native population in the field and can serve as a research tool to compare strains in the field, irrespective of competitive ability. In year 1, Rhizobium inoculation of chickpea gave increased nodulation and increased plant growth 20 and 51 days after sowing, and increased dry matter, grain yield, and grain protein yield at maturity. These beneficial effects of inoculation on plant growth and yield were not measured in the 2nd year.Submitted as Journal Article No. JA 945 by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh 502 324, India  相似文献

A greenhouse study was performed to examine the ability of the earthworms Microscolex dubius and Aporrectodea trapezoides to transport Rhizobium meliloti L5-30R through soil. When R. meliloti L5-30R was inoculated into either ezi-mulch (a pelleted formulation of cereal-pea straw), oat hay, pea hay, or sheep dung and placed on the soil surface together with either A. trapezoides or M. dubius, >104 colony-forming units (CFU) of R. meliloti L5-30R g-1 soil were detected at 90 mm soil depth after 18 days. In the absence of earthworms, R. meliloti L5-30R was not detected at 90 mm soil depth after this time. In a second experiment using ezi-mulch as the inoculant material and in the presence of A. trapezoides (in a number equivalent to 471 or 785 m-2), ca. 103 CFU of R. meliloti L5-30R per 10 mm of alfalfa root were detected at 0–30, 30–60, and 60–90 mm soil depth after 18 days, while <3 CFU were detected per 10 mm of root in the absence of A. trapezoides. In a third experiment in which R. meliloti L5-30R was distributed evenly through soil at the start of the experiment, A. trapezoides (in a number equivalent to 157, 471, or 785 m-2) significantly decreased the survival of L5-30R in soil after 40 days of incubation at 15°C, but not after 20 days. The decrease in survival of R. meliloti L5-30R was correlated with the density of A. trapezoides. These results demonstrate that A. trapezoides can increase root colonization of alfalfa by R. meliloti L5-30R, but may also reduce the ability of R. meliloti L5-30R to survive in soil.  相似文献

Chickpea Rhizobium populations in soil samples from research stations and farmers' fields in different geographic regions of India ranged from <10 to > 104 rhizobia g−1 soil. Fields on research stations with a known history of chickpea cropping had more rhizobia (calc. 103 to 105 rhizobia g1&#x0304; soil) than the majority of farmers' fields (calc. < 10 to 103 rhizobia g−1 soil). In the absence of chickpea in the cropping pattern, soils generally had < 102 rhizobia g1&#x0304; and crops in such fields nodulated poorly. However, poor nodulation was also observed when populations of rhizobia were high, indicating that other factors were also important for nodulation. There was no obvious consistent correlation of Rhizobium population with pH, electrical conductivity and nitrate-nitrogen status of the soil.Rhizobium populations declined with soil depth and were highest (about 104 rhizobia g−1 soil) in the top 30 cm of the profile and lowest, but still present (calc. 103–103 rhizobia g'1 soil), at 90–120 cm—a depth where no nodules are found. Populations fluctuated most in the top 5 cm, being reduced during periods of high soil temperature in summer and recovering after rains. Rhizobium populations were at a maximum after chickpea but survived well under pigeonpea, groundnut and maize. When rice followed an inoculated chickpea crop, there was about a 100-fold decrease in the Rhizobium population.  相似文献

Summary The interaction between soil pH and inoculation with rhizobia and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) was studied in an industrially polluted soil contaminated with high levels of Zn and Cd. A silt loam soil (pH 6.7) was amended with Ca(OH)2 or elemental S to adjust the soil pH to 4.3, 5.3, 6.0, and 7.2. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was planted in each treated soil an subsequently inoculated with Rhizobium meliloti and/or a mixed VAM spore population. Alfalfa growing in soils at a pH of 4.3 and 5.3 failed to survive as a result of soil acidity and heavy metal toxicity. At the three higher pH values, growth and foliar N and P were significantly increased by inoculation with rhizobia or VAM. The greatest increase was observed when both VAM and rhizobia were inoculated together into the soil. With a soil pH of 6.0 and 6.7, the available heavy metal concentration in the soil was high and the VAM significantly decreased heavy metal uptake from these soils. The foliar concentration of Zn was reduced from 455 to 306 g g–1 by inoculation with VAM (pH 6.0). At the highest soil pH (7.2), however, available heavy metal concentrations were generally lower and NAM significantly increased the heavy metal uptake. The influence of VAM on heavy metal uptake thus appears to be partly a function of the available heavy metal content in the soil.  相似文献

采用分室(内、外室)培养法,以紫花苜蓿及其耐酸根瘤菌91522为材料,在酸性土壤(pH4.45)中额外补充Al3+至中度铝毒水平,从培养装置根箱外接种,探讨了补充Ca2+、P后,耐酸苜蓿根瘤菌在酸性土壤上的存活、迁移以及群体感应的变化动态。结果表明,补充5 mmol kg-1Ca2+处理的土壤根瘤菌的数量在97 d种植期内均显著高于对照(Ca0P0,即无Ca2+无P处理),Ca2+5 mmol kg-1+P 0μmol kg-1处理近根区(距苜蓿植株根1～2 cm)土壤最大根瘤菌数量为同期对照的6.15倍;在此基础上补充P后根瘤菌的数量进一步增加,"Ca2+5 mmol kg-1+P 4μmol kg-1"处理近根区最大根瘤菌数量为同期对照处理的9.40倍。因此推断Ca2+和P的上述作用存在交互效应。施加Ca2+、P能够显著提高土壤中根瘤菌群体感应物质N-酰基高丝氨酸内酯衍生物(N-acyl-homoserine actones,AHLs)的含量,且Ca2+5 mmol kg-1效果好于Ca2+10mmol kg-1处理。根瘤菌数量在远根区(距苜蓿植株根6～8 cm)与近根区变化规律一致,即接种1周后根瘤菌数量由远根区向近根区逐渐增加,接种后30 d内达到最高值,之后数量下降并趋于稳定。但近根区根瘤菌数量和AHLs含量均高于远根区,说明宿主根际微环境也能够影响根瘤菌数量和群体感应。初步认为,酸性有铝土壤上补充Ca2+5 mmol kg-1和P 30μmol kg-1对耐酸根瘤菌的存活、迁移和群体感应有良好的改善效果。该处理最终显著地增强了对酸性土壤极为敏感的苜蓿植株的耐酸铝胁迫能力,较对照显著(p0.05)改善了酸铝胁迫下苜蓿的植株根鲜重(为对照的4.67倍)、地上部鲜重(3.10倍)、含氮量(2.47倍)和根瘤数(14.74倍)等农艺性状。  相似文献

An examination of 85 strains of bacteria from five species of rhizobia (Rhizobium sp., R. japonicum, R. lupini, R. meliloti and R. trifolii), using a new semi-quantitative assay procedure, disclosed wide diversity among the strains in their requirement for, and response to, vitamins, carbon sources, and nitrogen sources. Approximately half of the strains in the first four species grew as well without vitamins as they did when supplied with a vitamin mixture or with yeast extract, but the other strains showed considerable variation in their requirements. Some strains were inhibited by yeast extract, or showed best growth in basic media supplemented with only one vitamin. The strains within the species differed widely in their utilization of gluconate, mannitol and arabinose as C-sources; there was less diversity in their use of glutamine, histidine, NH4+-N and NO3?-N as N-sources. The significance of these observations in the culture of rhizobia in the laboratory, in their ecological adaptation to particular environments, and in their ability to form an effective symbiosis with particular host legumes, is discussed.  相似文献

The Sinorhizobium -legume interaction is sensitive to a number of environmental factors, soil acidity being one of the most important. In the typic Hapludoll soil of the central-southern region of Córdoba (Argentine) it was found that the nodulation of alfalfa ( Medicago sativaL.) roots was impaired with a reduction in shoot dry matter under conditions of soil acidity (pH 5.5) Our results showed that the addition of lime as dolomitic limestone at a concentration of 1 t ha -1to acid soil caused a significant increase in the nodulation of alfalfa roots inoculated with the strain Sinorhizobium meliloti SEMIA 116 (recommended inoculum for alfalfa) in the greenhouse experiments. The success of the lime treatment may be related not only to an increase in the pH values but also to an increase in the Ca concentration, improving the growth of S. meliloti and its nodulation ability under acidic conditions. In this study, we also demonstrated an increment in the bacterial growth rate as well as in the production of exopolysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides under low pH (5.5) and a high Ca concentration (5 mM) in the culture medium.  相似文献

We compared the uptake of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus (as well as 14C-labelled mannitol, 3H-labelled glutamate, and 32P-labelled phosphate) in three fast- and three slow-growing rhizobia. The fast-growing strains used were Rhizobium meliloti (isolated from Medicago sativa), R. trifolii (from Trifolium subterraneum), and Rhizobium spp from Leucaena leucocephala, while the slow-growing strains were R. japonicum (Glycine max), and two Rhizobium spp (from Centrosema pubescens and Crotolaria anagyroides). Slow-growing organisms preferentially utilized glutamate in the medium. Both fast- and slow-growing strains took up more NH+4-N than NO?3-N on a per cell basis. In the presence of mannitol, fast-growing strains can cause either acid or alkaline reactions, an effect that is dependent only on the N-source (NH+4 or NO?3). Uptake preferences of the fast-growing Leucaena isolate (UMKL 19) resembled those of the slow-growing rhizobia, further strengthening the argument that this organism (and others like it) may be intermediate between the normal fast- and slow-growing groups. Generally, the efficiency of uptake of N (either as NH+4 or NO?3), P, and therefore K, was greater in the fast-growing organisms.  相似文献

The behaviour of Rhizobium strains introduced separately into soil from a contaminated site with high concentrations of heavy metals (mainly Zn and Hg), and the role of plasmids in the ecology of these rhizobia strains were studied. Six Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii strains, from different sources and with different plasmid contents, were selected. Two of them were isolated from nodules of subterranean clover plants (Trifolium subterraneum) grown in the contaminated soil and four were from an uncontaminated soil. After inoculation with approximately 107 cells g−1 soil, of each strain, survival and plasmid stability were assessed over a period of 12-18 months. Differences in survival of Rhizobium strains were only detected more than 12 months after inoculation. After 18 months it was clear that survival in contaminated soil was greatest in the two strains originally isolated from that contaminated soil, and also by two of the strains originally isolated from uncontaminated soil. The latter two strains were also the only ones that showed changes in their plasmid profiles. The remaining isolates had the lowest populations, and their plasmid profiles were unchanged and similar to the parent strains.  相似文献

Summary A method was developed to improve the colonizing ability of inoculated strains of root-nodule bacteria using aliette (aluminum tris-O-ethyl phosphonate), a basipetally translocated fungicide. Aliette applied to seeds of alfalfa inoculated with an aliette-resistant strain of Rhizobium meliloti increased the numbers of R. meliloti in the rhizosphere after 3 but not 37 days, increased the number of nodules, and with some seed treatments, increased the growth of alfalfa. The enhanced colonization by R. meliloti as a result of seed treatment with aliette lasted for at least 31 days for alfalfa, although plant weights did not increase, Colonization by R. meliloti was further enhanced if seeds and foliage were treated with the fungicide. Coating seeds or sparaying the foliage with aliette also increased the number and weight of nodules and nitrogenase activity in soybeans inoculated with an aliette-resistant strain of Bradyrhizobium japonicum. The stimulation of B. japonicum in the rhizosphere and of nodulation was evident with successive plantings of soybeans if the seeds for each planting were treated with the chemical, but aliette did not increase the yield of inoculated soybeans in the subsequent plantings. With only the seeds of the first planting of inoculated soybeans treated with aliette, the numbers of B. japonicum in the rhizosphere of subsequent plantings were only occasionally greater and the numbers of nodules on the later plantings were not increased. We suggest that root colonization, nodulation, and N2 fixation by Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium may be enhanced by the use of basipetally translocated antimicrobial compounds together with root-nodule bacteria that are resistant to those compounds.  相似文献

Summary Pot and laboratory experiments were conducted to study the establishment and effectiveness of a streptomycin-sulphate-resistant (1 mg/ml of medium) pigeonpea rhizobia strain (RM7) in sterile sand and non-sterile soils. Strain RM7 increased the drymatter yield of pigeonpea plants (Cajanus cajan) by 106% over control plants under sterile conditions. However, when the rhizobia strain was introduced into 14 different non-sterile soils with a narrow abiotic variability, the comparable beneficial effect was observed only in one soil inoculated with log 6.70 cells/pot. At this inoculum rate, the percentage increase in yield over control plants varied from –1 to 140 in different soils. Rhizobium (RM7), applied at log 3.70 cells/pot (3 kg soil), showed less than 5% establishment in four soils. However, establishment varied from 8% to 72% at a higher level of inoculation (log 6.70 cells/pot). Displacement of native rhizobia and creation of new sites for nodulation by the introduced rhizobia were also affected by soil properties. The increase in shoot dry-matter yield compared with control plants was positively correlated with the percent establishment of RM7 (r = 0.60*) in these soils. Experiments showed that some biotic stresses led to poor survival, proliferation and establishment of the added alien in the soil. Therefore, any culture that is efficient in one soil may not produce similar results under all situations.  相似文献

Summary Chickpea cultivars (Cicer arietinum L.) and their symbiosis with specific strains of Rhizobium spp. were examined under salt stress. The growth of rhizobia declined with NaCl concentrations increasing from 0.01 to 2% (w : v). Two Rhizobium spp. strains (F-75 and KG 31) tolerated 1.5% NaCl. Of the 10 chickpea cultivars examined, only three (Pusa 312, Pusa 212, and Pusa 240) germinated at 1.5% NaCl. The chickpea — Rhizobium spp. symbiosis was examined in the field, with soil varying in salinity from electrical conductivity (EC) 4.5 to EC 5.2 dSm-1, to identify combinations giving satisfactory yields. Significant interactions between strains and cultivars caused differential yields of nodules, dry matter, and grain. Four chickpea — Rhizobium spp. combinations, Pusa 240 and F-75 (660 kg ha-1), Pusa 240 and IC 76 (440 kg ha-1), Pusa 240 and KG 31 (390 kg ha-1), and Pusa 312 and KG 31 (380 kg ha-1), produced significantly higher grain yields in saline soil.  相似文献
