“…Previously investigations under field conditions (Hobbs and Mahon 1982;Rengel 2002;Young et al 1982) have shown that some Rhizobium isolates are more efficient when inoculated on some genotypes than on others. Huntington et al (1986) concluded from their greenhouse study that the host/ endophyte combination forms a relatively ineffective symbiotic association being primarily inherent in the host plant rather than the endophyte or the environment.…”

Background: Effectiveness of Rhizobium inoculation is determined by common bean genotypes. Environmental factors also affect common bean genotypes-Rhizobium-symbiosis. The effect of common bean genotypes-Rhizobium strains-environment interaction on nodulation and common bean production is not well studied. Three genotypes (Dursitu, Gofta, and Kufanzik) and eight selected isolates of common bean nodulating-rhizobia with N-fertilized and control check were used for field experiments at four locations (Babile, Fedis, Haramaya, and Hirna) to evaluate the effect of genotypes-Rhizobium strains-environment interaction on the nodulation, yield and yield traits of common bean. The treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications.Results: This study revealed that Rhizobium inoculation, the genotypes, environment and their interaction significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected all investigated traits of common bean. Common bean genotypes Rhizobium inoculation and experimental locations significantly affected nodule number (NN) and nodule dry weight (NDW). The highest NN and NDW as compared to the uninoculated control across locations were recorded with the genotype Dursitu in all inoculation treatments. However, the result revealed the lowest mean total biomass (TBY) and grain yield (GY) over locations with the same genotype Dursitu. The highest mean grain yields of 3358.89, 3257.82, 1499.25 and 2204.82 kg ha −1 across the treatments were recorded at Haramaya, Hirna, Babile and Fedis sites, respectively, with the genotype Gofta, thereby implying that there was none specificity between common bean genotypes × locations in the study locations of eastern Ethiopia with tested common bean genotypes. None of the tested isolates produced statistically better NN, NDW, TBY, GY and total plant N accumulation consistently in all locations with all tested common bean genotypes, indicating the presence of Rhizobium strains × location specificity. Conclusion: Therefore, the result showed the need for a specific strain of Rhizobium development for common bean production in different locations.

“…They were obtained by screening with a commercial inoculant mixture, and not tested further for strain specificity. More recently, a smaller screen of 375 pea varieties was conducted at the John Innes Institute (Young et a!., 1982a(Young et a!., , 1982b. Twenty-six lines, nearly all from Afghanistan, were resistant to a strain of R. leguminosarum from England, 383 but were nodulated by TOM.…”

SUMMARYSeven varieties of Pisum sativum from Afghanistan, Iran, Tibet and Turkey were tested for nodulation by 25 diverse strains of Rhizobium Ieguminosarum.The pea varieties were resistant to nodulation by 13 rhizobial strains from temperate regions, and formed few or no nodules. The varieties nodulated with 4 of 12 rhizobial strains from Middle Eastern soils. The plant-rhizobia specificity was identical to Pisum sativum var. "Afghanistan".Crosses were made among fIve nodulation resistant varieties and "Afghanistan". Genetic analysis indicates that the strain specific nodulation resistance in each of the five pea varieties is allelic with the sym-2 gene in "Afghanistan".Surveys of worldwide pea collections have failed to discover varieties which are never nodulated by any rhizobial strain. There appears, however, to be a class of nodulation resistant peas from the Middle East which have the same restricted strain specificity.
