e2“Treatments were factorial combinations of inoculated and non-inoculated seeds of Cowpea, Groundnut, Bambara groundnut, Bebi (Viny Lima) bean, Mucuna bean, and African yam bean, laid out in randomized complete block design replicated thrice.”
e1“At the seedling stage, effective nodule number was not significantly affected in all but Mucuna bean in which there was a 42.7% reduction.”

Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect At the seedling stage, effective nodule number of the other indigenous legumes was not significantly affected by inoculation.
- Intervention effect At pre-anthesis, nodule number of Bambara groundnut, Bebi bean, groundnut and cowpea was statistically similar with and without inoculation.
- Intervention effect At pre-anthesis, inoculation reduced nodule number of Mucuna bean by 22.4%.
- Intervention effect At pre-anthesis, inoculation reduced nodule number of African yam bean by 20.4%.
- Intervention effect Nodule dry weight of Bebi bean, Bambara groundnut, Mucuna bean and cowpea was unaffected by inoculation at the seedling and pre-anthesis stages.
- Intervention effect At the pre-anthesis stage, inoculation reduced nodule dry weight of groundnut by 35.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased nodule dry weight of African yam bean by 60%.
- Intervention effect At seed initiation, inoculation increased nodule dry weight of African yam bean by 56.5.
- Intervention effect At seed initiation, inoculation increased nodule dry weight of Mucuna bean by 60.6%.
- Intervention effect At seed initiation, inoculation reduced nodule dry weight of Bambara groundnut by 25.6%.
- Intervention effect At seed initiation, inoculation reduced nodule dry weight of groundnut by 50.0%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased grain yield of cowpea from 2,471 to 2,794 kg/ha in 2015.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased grain yield of cowpea from 2,995 to 3504 kg/ha in 2016.
- Intervention effect Inoculation reduced grain yield of groundnut from 884 to 560 kg/ha in 2015.
- Intervention effect Inoculation reduced grain yield of groundnut from 963 to 678 kg/ha in 2016.
- Intervention effect Inoculation did not significantly affect grain yield of Bebi bean, African yam bean and Bambara groundnut.
- Association The genotype by inoculation interaction significantly affected plant biomass and fresh grain yield.
- Mechanism Bebi bean is promiscuous and better adapted to native Rhizobium strains, which may explain its lack of response to inoculation.
- Mechanism Rhizobium in groundnut may be antagonistic and incompatible with the introduced inoculant.
