Inoculation of Pea by Application of Rhizobium in the Planting Furrow
Selected streptomycin resistant strains ofRhizobium leguminosarum suspended in nutrient broth were added to the planting furrow immediately before the sowing of pea. The nodule occupancy by a strain isolated from Risø soil (Risø la) was increased from 74 to 90%, when the inoculum rate was increased from 3.7×106 to 3.7×108 cells per cm row.
The experimental soil contained 103 to 104 cells ofR. leguminosarum per gram. An almost inefficient strain isolated from Risø soil (SV10) was less competitive with respect to nodulation on two pea cultivars than an efficient Risø strain (SV15) and an efficient non-Risø strain (R1045). The nodule occupancy by the introduced strains varied between pea cultivars.
