Extract

That rhizobial strains belonging to pulses not only differ among themselves but also show differences in their effectiveness when Azotobacter isolates are used as co-inoculants has been shown by Sanoria & Ram (1979) and Sanoria & Mallik (1981). This has now been further demonstrated in trials conducted over 2 years using bengal gram. These trials also included a phosphate solubilizing bacterium (Pseudomonas spp.) as an extra inoculant but it had no effect on the responses obtained.
