- Intervention effect All four strains increased nodulation.
- Observation USDA 110 was superior at two low-native-rhizobia sites.
- Observation USDA 442 and WB74 were best at the high-native-rhizobia site.
- Intervention effect The strains doubled nodule number on average.
- Intervention effect The strains increased nodule dry weight up to 5.8-fold.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased shoot dry weight and N content at podding.
- Intervention effect Effects on seeds per pod and 100-seed weight were inconsistent.
- Observation Shoot N content did not differ among inoculant strains.
- Intervention effect All four strains increased grain yield across sites in 2018.
- Observation USDA 110 outperformed other strains in 2018 and one site in 2019.
- Intervention effect USDA 110 grain yield response ranged from 552 kg ha−1 to 1,255 kg ha−1.
- Association Nodule dry weight correlated positively with seed yield.
- Association Pods per plant correlated positively with grain yield.
- Observation Control gross margins ranged from $343.50 to $606.80 per hectare.
- Intervention effect Inoculation raised gross margins to $688.34–$789.36.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased gross margin by $182.57-$395.35 ha−1 over control in 2018.
- Observation Drought reduced the inoculation benefit in 2019.
