Extract

The formation of effective nodules by rhizobial strains is influenced by both the host and the environment (Gibson, 1977). The interaction between host genotype and strains of Rhizobium sp. has already been established for some species (Gasser et al. 1972; Rai & Singh, 1979). The present study presents data for the contribution of different rhizobial strains to nodulation character and quality of green gram.
