Title
INOCULUM SPECIFICITY IN FABABEANS AND PEAS
J. R. DEAN; K. W. CLARK Canadian Journal of Plant Science 1979. doi:10.4141/cjps79-005
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Pea inoculum or indigenous inoculum performed significantly worse than fababean specific rhizobia in fababeans.
- Intervention effect Favored specific fababean inoculum was equally effective with or without nonspecific inoculum competition.
- Intervention effect Favoring pea inoculum significantly decreased acetylene reduction in fababeans.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that pea rhizobia should not reduce fababean fixation and yield when specific inoculum is applied.
