“…New Zealand soils are naturally devoid of Rhizobium meliloii (Blair and Bennett, 1960;Leamy et ai., 1974) and when introduced, they generally do not persist in the soil in the absence of the host plant (Greenwood, 1964). Consequently, inoculation of luceme seed at each sowing to obtain nodulation is a necessity (Mackinnon et at., 1977). In New Zealand, the Inoculant and Coated Seed Testing Service (ICSTS) provides manufacturers with recommended strains of Rhizobium and sets standards of purity, strain identity and number of rhizobia for commercial inoculants (Johnson, 1979(Johnson, , 1984.…”

“…The SU47 strain was available as a symbiotic effective inoculant for di-and tetraploid forms of alfalfa in Australia for farms since 1955 and was used there on an industrial scale since the 1960s, and in New Zealand since 1973-1975 [23]. On the basis of the strain Rm2011, the biopreparation Nitrogin [24] was created.…”

the primary center of the diversity of their host plants whereas those sequences are lost under an abiotic stress (salinity) impact. In addition, strains harboring different chromosome types, according to structural differences in the intergenic sequence of rrn-rrl operons, can be referred to divergent clonal lineages. According to the discussed data, it was suggested to consider strain 425a and its derivatives as the model S. meliloti strains to create a system for genetic monitoring of practically valuable strains in agrocenoses.

“…Commercially-pelleted legume seed is widely used in New Zealand (MacKinnon et al 1977). Effective seed pelleting has been shown to increase the establishment of oversown lucerne (Musgrave et al 1974) and clover (Lowther 1975a), particularly on soil of low pH (Lowther 1975b).…”

As part of a quality evaluation program commercially-pelleted legume seed was sampled over a 3 year period and tested for numbers of viable rhizobia. Tests were carried out 7-10 days after manufacture during the first year, but in succeeding years samples were tested 28 days after manufacture after storage at 19-22°e. Manufacturers generally differed in the average number of rhizobia per seed attained with a given species and this number could fluctuate abruptly. With individual manufacturers there were consistent differences among species in the average number of rhizobia per seed. There were also differences among manufacturers and among species in the percentage of rhizobia surviving a 21-day storage period, indicating the importance of assessing numbers under conditions representative of those experienced under practical conditions. The numbers of viable rhizobia found on some of the samples tested were so low « 1 O/seed) as to entail a high risk of inoculation failure if the seed was sown into rhizobia-free soil. The results indicate the importance of adequate quality control for the production of pelleted legume seed and of further investigation into factors affecting survival of rhizobia on the finished product.
