The ability of soybean to nodulate with a wide range of indigenous bradyrhizobia has been used in a breeding programme since 1997 in Nigeria. As far as is known, these indigenous bradyrhizobia strains have not been tested for compatibility and effectiveness with recent selections from a breeding ...

Twelve cowpea cultivars were screened for reactions to infection by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and C. truncatum, causal agents of anthracnose and brown blotch diseases, respectively. Three different inoculation techniques were used: spraying a spore suspension on leaves of seedlings, injecting...

Soils of many potential soybean fields in Africa are characterized by low levels of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) activities and often cannot support high soybean yields without addition of inorganic N fertilizers or external application of soybean rhizobia. The most probable number (MPN) te...

With limited access to P fertilizers, soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) varieties cultivated in the moist savanna zone of West Africa should use P as efficiently as possible. Field trials were conducted on the effect of P application on grain yield per unit P accumulated (physiological efficiency ...
