A survey of selected fields in bean growing regions of Tanzania and a more detailed survey of bean fields in the Lushoto area of northern Tanzania were carried out to establish soil properties limiting the extent of root nodulation of Phaseolus vulgaris L. Soil samples were collected and soil pH,...

Environmental constraints to nodulation and nitrogen fixation of Phaseolus vulgaris L. in Tanzania. I. A survey of soil fertility, root nodulation and multi-locational responses to Rhizobium inoculation
A nursery experiment was conducted in un-sterilized soil in Senegal using six Calliandra species or provenances inoculated with a mixture of seven rhizobial strains. Plant growth was assessed periodically at 1, 2, 3, 12 and 18 months whereas nodulation, shoot and root dry weights were assessed at...

Host-determined traits influence nodule initiation, development, and function. and can be of major importance to the proper functioning of the legume Rhizobium symbiosis under field conditions. Thls paper reviews such traits and considers their implications for practically oriented breeding progr...

Twenty Mimosa-nodulating bacterial strains from Brazil and Venezuela, together with eight reference Mimosa-nodulating rhizobial strains and two other ?-rhizobial strains, were examined by amplified rRNA gene restriction analysis. They fell into 16 patterns and formed a single cluster together wit...

Eighty-two strains of rhizobia were isolated from soils taken from several sites in Mauritania and Senegal. These soil samples were collected from natural stands of Acacia nilotica and Acacia senegal. The soils from Mauritania were less rich in native rhizobia than the soils from Senegal. The str...

Three phases of Rhizobium inoculation trials were carried out as part of a programme to select forage legume germplasm adapted to acid, infertile Oxisols of tropical America. Firstly, a range of tropical forage legumes were evaluated for their response to N fertilization or inoculation with strai...

Nitrogen deficiency severely limits production of the bean maize association grown by small-scale farmers in upland Peru. Sixty-four bean Rhizobium isolates were evaluated for induction of a plant growth response in pots of soil from the area and 14 of the most promising strains of these were tes...

Acacia nilotica var. tomentosa trees from the Diarra protected forest located in the Senegal River valley were identified for the assessment of both biological nitrogen fixation, using the natural abundance method, and soil bio-functioning parameters (nodulation, root biomass, total microbial bio...
