   Effect of herbicides on survival of rhizobia and nodulation of peas, groundnuts and lucerne

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: H. Jansen van Rensburg --- , B.W. Strijdom --- ,

   Thirteen herbicides were tested for toxicity against strains of Rhizobium used in South African legume inoculants for lucerne, clover, soybeans, groundnuts and lupins, respectively. Each of alachlor, bromoxynil, proprop, metolachlor, naptalam + dinoseb, and trifluralin inhibited at least two of...

   Nodulation potential of four Trifolium repens cultivars under field conditions

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: PA Swanepoel --- Department of Agriculture: Western Cape, South Africa PR Botha --- Department of Agriculture: Western Cape, South Africa W Truter --- , South Africa AKJ Surridge-Talbot --- , South Africa

   Four Trifolium repens (white clover) cultivars were evaluated under field conditions to determine the potential of these cultivars to sucessfully develop Rhizobium-associated root nodules. Nodulation of T. repens is often poor, because of suboptimal environmental conditions or absence of host-specific...

   Inorganic nitrogen application improves the yield and yield traits of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) irrespective of the indigenous rhizobial population

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Anteneh Argaw --- School of Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences, Ethiopia Daniel Muleta --- Holleta Agricultural research Center, Ethiopia

   The effect of number and efficiency of indigenous rhizobia on the need for external inorganic nitrogen (N) application to boost common bean production is unknown. Hence, field experiments were conducted at four locations with soil populations of <100, 100–1 000...
