t0“A Short Season Canadian Soybean Cultivar Double Cropped After Winter Wheat in Uzbekistan With and Without Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium”
e0“An experiment was conducted in the Fergana valley, in Uzbekistan, Central Asia, to determine the feasibility of growing a short-season Canadian soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) cultivar after the harvest of winter wheat in early July”
e1“An inoculated treatment was compared to a non-inoculated control in a randomized complete block design with four blocks”
e3“Inoculation in 2004 increased seed weights by 30%, final pod number by 29%, biomass dry weight at the pod-filling stage (56%) and at harvest (56%), as well as the harvest index by 22%”

- Intervention effect Bradyrhizobium inoculation increased soybean seed weight by 30% relative to the non-inoculated control.
- Intervention effect Bradyrhizobium inoculation increased soybean biomass dry weight at the pod-filling stage by 56% relative to the non-inoculated control.
- Intervention effect Bradyrhizobium inoculation increased soybean biomass dry weight at harvest by 56% relative to the non-inoculated control.
