Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Rhizobial inoculation significantly increased nodule number and nodule dry weight of lentil compared with non-inoculated non-fertilized plants.
- Intervention effect Rhizobial inoculation significantly increased grain yield and yield components of lentil compared with non-inoculated non-fertilized plants.
- Intervention effect Inoculation with Lt29 enhanced seed yield of field-grown lentil by 59%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation with Lt5 enhanced seed yield of field-grown lentil by 44%.
- Intervention effect In the pot experiment, inoculation with Lt29 increased lentil grain yield by 92% over control treatments.
- Intervention effect In the pot experiment, inoculation with Lt5 increased lentil grain yield by 67% over control treatments.
- Intervention effect Lt29-inoculated lentil plants had the highest N fixation, 65.7% Ndfa.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that native rhizobial inoculation can replace inorganic N fertilization to optimize lentil yields.
