Abstract

Effect of Rhizobium inoculation on vegetative growth and yield of two different leguminous crops Arachis hypogea and Vigna mungo was investigated. Inoculation of crop specific rhizobial strains increased plant biomass, nodule number, height of plant, leaf number, and flower number. The yield of Arachis hypogea and Vigna radiata due to Rhizobium inoculation was higher by 22% and 29% respectively over control.
