Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation At site I, an inoculum concentration of 4 x 10 CFU ml established the inoculum strain in 73% of nodules.
- Observation At site II, the inoculum strain formed only 33% of nodules at the 10 CFU ml inoculum level.
- Intervention effect Increasing the inoculum concentration up to 10 CFU ml did not further improve establishment of the inoculum strain.
- Observation The inoculum strain was detected at both sites 19 months after inoculation.
- Observation A dominant strain and plasmid pool existed among the indigenous population at site II.
