Ecological indicators of native rhizobia in tropical soils.
The relationship between environment and abundance of rhizobia was described by determining the populations of root nodule bacteria at 14 diverse sites on the island of Maui. Mean annual rainfall at the sites ranged from 320 to 1,875 mm, elevation from 37 to 1,650 m, and soil pH from 4.6 to 7.9. Four different soil orders were represented in this study: inceptisols, mollisols, ultisols, and an ...
متن کاملSymbiotic Efficiency of Native Rhizobia Nodulating Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Soils of Western Kenya
This study was conducted to determine the abundance and symbiotic efficiency of native rhizobia nodulating common bean in Kisumu and Kakamega, Kenya. Soil sampling was carried out in three farms that had been used for growing common bean for at least two seasons and one fallow land with no known history of growing common bean or inoculation. Abundance of soil rhizobia and symbiotic efficiency (...
متن کاملReliability of the most-probable-number technique for enumerating rhizobia in tropical soils.
We used six rhizobium-legume systems to test the reliability of the most-probable-number (MPN) technique for enumerating rhizobia introduced into 14 sites representing four soil orders. The range-of-transition values (the number of dilution steps between the first not-entirely-positive and the last not-entirely-negative growth units) were compared for each species and for each soil. The probabi...
متن کاملSelective medium for recovering specific populations of rhizobia introduced into tropical soils.
Experiments were designed to evaluate the usefulness of antifungal agents and streptomycin for recovering low densities of rhizobia inoculated into tropical soils. The results showed that yeast-mannitol agar (pH 6.0) containing 500 mug of streptomycin, 400 mug of cycloheximide and 50 mug of benomyl or chlorothalonil per ml was the best selective medium.
متن کاملBio-indicators in the tropical forest of Western Ghats environment
Background: Investigation on the natural radionuclides 238U, 232Th, 40K and natural fallout radionuclide 210Po in the prominent plants species of Western Ghats tropical forest near Kotagiri have been carried out as a part of baseline background radiation studies in the forest environment. Materials and Methods: The prominent plants species of the region Evodia roxburghiana and Eleaoca...
