“…The results confirmed UFPI-38 and UFPI-59 as more efficient rhizobia, mainly with large seeds. In addition, the highest values of parameters were reported in large seeds and it agrees with previous studies assessing the effect of seed size on plant growth and nodulation (DOBERT & BLEVINS 1993;SINGH and WRIGHT,2002;ERDEMCI et al, 2017). Since large seeds present higher reserve content, it could promote faster emergence and more vigorous seedling (SINGH and WRIGHT, 2002).…”

“…Plant traits also influence nodulation and BNF in legumes. Among these traits, seed size contributes for increasing or decreasing the process of N fixation (DOBER &TBLEVINS, 1993;SINGH and WRIGHT, 2002;ERDEMCI et al, 2017). According to ERDEMCI et al (2017) seed size influences seedling vigor and plant growth and large seeds usually produce more vigorous seedlings than small ones.…”

This study evaluated the activity of rhizobia isolates inoculated in large (18 mm) and small (11 mm) seeds on lima bean growth, nodulation and N fixation. Selected rhizobia isolates were compared with a reference strain CIAT899 and two controls without inoculation. Large seeds contributed for highest plant growth, nodulation and N fixation than small seeds. The isolates UFPI-59, UFPI-18 and UFPI-38 promoted the highest values of shoot and root dry weight, respectively. The isolates UFPI-32 promoted the highest values of nodule number, while UFPI-59 promoted the highest values of nodule dry weight. The isolates UFPI-38 and UFPI-59 promoted the highest accumulation of N. This study showed that seed size really influences lima bean growth, nodulation and BNF. Considering rhizobia isolates, UFPI-59, UFPI-38, and UFPI-18 contributed for plant growth, promoted better nodulation and effectiveness on biological N fixation.

“…Although, spacing and N affected nodule numbers and fresh weight, they had a positive correlation with amount of rainfall increasing over LR18 compared to LR17 and SR17 by over 77 and 11% for both correspondingly. Significant interactions were noted in VN and SN, In agreement is Erdemci et al (2017) who noted similar interactions in chickpeas. Worku and Astatkie (2015) reported insignificant results of VS on soybean which is similar to this study.…”

Chickpea is a major legume grown in Kenya. The agronomic performance, nodulation ability and grain crude protein are not fully exploited. Field experiments were conducted at Embu, Kenya to determine the effect of plant spacing and N-fertilizer rates on nodulation and protein content of selected chickpea varieties. A split-split plot design was used and replicated three times. Treatments consisted of main factor, variety in four levels (Saina K, Mwanza 2, Chania I, Chania III), sub factor, spacing in three levels (S 1 : 50 x 10; S 2 : 50 x 20; S 3 : 50 x 30 cm), and sub-sub factor, nitrogen fertilizer rates in four levels of (0; 30; 60; 90 kg ha -1 ). Data on nodulation and CP was subjected to GLM. Spacing and N-fertilizer rates significantly affected nodule numbers, fresh weight and their sizes. Mwanza 2 x 50x10 cm x N 30 posted highest nodule numbers while Chania III had highest protein content. Interactions of VS, VN, SN and VSN had no consistent pattern under nodule factors but were highly significant in percent CP. Hence, optimal interactive effects of VSN can improve nodulation factors and CP of chickpea. The information will help growers make informed decisions, and researchers in developing improved varieties.

“…Hojjat (2011) also reported that the germination parameters were significantly related by seed weight and large seeds germinated early and showed better germination than small seeds of lentil genotypes. Studies of Erdemci et al (2017) on chickpea showed that large seeds of chickpea had high germination percentage, more seedling dry weight and better electrical conductivity as compare to small seeds. However (Rezapour et al, 2013) in their research about seed size on soybean germination, showed that medium seeds had higher germination percentage than that for large and small seed sizes, but there was not a significant effect of seed size on germination rate.…”

A study was conducted to investigate how seed size affects germination and vigor of cowpea seeds. Four cowpea varieties (Asontem, Nhyira, Soronko and Tona), were obtained from Crops Research Institute of the Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-CRI). The seeds were grouped in two sizes (large and small), by manually sorting by length, width and thousand seeds weight. Laboratory experiments were carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Kwame Nkruma University of Science and Technology, in 2012. Results of the study showed that seed germination was not affected by the variety and the seed size. However, variety x seed size interaction was significant. Nhyira large and Asontem small seed sizes had significant higher germination (P≤0.01) than Soronko and Tona. For seed vigor, first count, seedling dry weight and electrical conductivity were used. First count among varieties and seed sizes used as a vigor indicator, were not significant. Variety x seed size interaction was not also significant. Seedling dry weight was not affected by varieties but by seed sizes, the large seed size produced seedling dry weight (8.91 g) significantly higher than the small sized seeds (7.66 g); variety x seed size interaction were not significant. Small seed size had higher value (28.72 μ S/cm.g) significantly different from large seed. Among the varieties, there were no differences for conductivity value. Variety x seed size interaction did not affect seed electrical conductivity. It can be concluded that seed size did not have effect on the germination of cowpea seeds. Therefore, sorting it out will be of no economic return but time consuming except, for market grade purpose.
