Performance of Rhizobia And Nitrogen on Nodulation Yield and N Uptake by Soybean in Saline Soil

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted in net house to study the effect of different rhizobial strains and N fertilizer on nodulation, growth, yield, N content and its uptake by soybean cv. Shohag. Saline soil was collected from Fultala of Khulna district. The experiment was laid out in the factorial combination following completely randomized design. There were altogether 16 treatment combinations (4 inocula × 4 fertilizer levels) replicated thrice. can be used for producing higher yield and quality of soybean cv. Shohag in the salt affected soil.

Evaluation of Root Nodulating Rhizobial Strains for Soybean Yield and Yield Components at Dangur District, North Western Ethiopia

“…Likewise, Antenah Argew, (2014) said that, the average number of pods per plant produced by the inoculated soybean plants was 30% higher than number of pods per plant produced by soybean plants in the control treatment. The maximum number of pod and seeds plant-1 was 43.58 and 75.66 obtained from the plant inoculated with strain-J43 (Sultana, 2014). On the other hand, the lowest number of pod per plant was obtained from control treatment (23.87).…”

“…Furthermore, the lowest nodule dry weight acquired from un-inoculated (control) treatment (0.04g/plant) followed by un-inoculated inorganic fertilizer input (0.06g/plant). The maximum and minimum nodule dry weight was 0.19 g and 0.06 g recorded from the plant inoculated with strain-J43 and non-inoculated plant respectively (Sultana et al, 2014).…”
