Cross inoculation studies: Response of Vigna mungo to inoculation with rhizobia from tree legumes growing under arid Environment

Inoculation of Legumes

Inoculation of woody legumes with selected arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobia to recover desertified mediterranean ecosystems.

Revegetation strategies, either for reclamation or for rehabilitation, are being used to recover desertified ecosystems. Woody legumes are recognized as species that are useful for revegetation of water-deficient, low-nutrient environments because of their ability to form symbiotic associations with rhizobial bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, which improve nutrient acquisition and help plants to ...

Cross Response of Slow Filters to Dual Pathogen Inoculation in Closed Hydroponic Growing Systems

The efficacy of slow filters for horticultural purposes is suggested to be the result of multiple factors. Physical and biological properties of the filter column and the nutrient solution are likely to influence on filter performance. It has previously been shown that enzyme activity on the filter skin is a main parameter which will explain roughly 50% of filter efficacy. Since enzyme activity...

Response of legumes to co-inoculation with nodule bacteria and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) of the genus Pseudomonas have been reported to increase the yield of nonleguminous plants. Inoculation with Pseudomonas has been found by some authors to improve nodulation of legumes. This work examined the response of various legumes to a combined inoculation with Pseudomonas and nodule bacteria in pot experiments under field conditions in gray fore...

Inoculation response of legumes in relation to the number and effectiveness of indigenous Rhizobium populations.

The response of legumes to inoculation with rhizobia can be affected by many factors. Little work has been undertaken to examine how indigenous populations or rhizobia affect this response. We conducted a series of inoculation trials in four Hawaiian soils with six legume species (Glycine max, Vigna unguiculata, Phaseolus lunatus, Leucaena leucocephala, Arachis hypogaea, and Phaseolus vulgaris)...
