Other claims from this paper (7)
- Mechanism Nodulation problems can limit Caucasian clover establishment.
- Mechanism The authors attributed previous establishment problems to inoculation failure or unsuitable rhizobial strains.
- Observation Treeline inoculated with ICMP4074b had low effective seedling nodulation even at 149 000 rhizobia per seed.
- Observation ICMP4073b was effective at symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
- Association Increasing seed rhizobial numbers raised effective nodulation in Treeline and Monaro inoculated with ICMP4073b.
- Observation Slurry inoculation or stored pellet seed had low seedling nodulation at likely rhizobial populations.
- Recommendation The authors recommend inoculating at least five times the rate, adding gum arabic and oversowing within a day.
