- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation raised lentil seed yield by 45% over six site-years.
- Intervention effect Granular soil inoculants raised yield by 19% over seed-applied inoculants.
- Intervention effect Seed-row and side-band placement of inoculants had similar results.
- Intervention effect Rhizobial inoculants raised yield by 15% on silt loam.
- Intervention effect Rhizobial inoculants raised yield by 70% on heavy clay.
- Intervention effect Starter nitrogen raised lentil yield by 13% on heavy clay.
- Intervention effect Starter nitrogen had no effect on silt loam.
- Intervention effect P. bilaii did not influence lentil growth, development or seed yield.
- Recommendation The authors prefer granular rhizobial inoculants for lentil production.
