The contributions of plant and bacteria genotypes in the growth and nitrogen accumulation of inoculated alfalfa

Abstract: The symbiotic efficiency of each of 30 alfalfa (16 Medicago sativa and 14 M. varia) cuhivars inoculated with 7 Rhizobium meliloti strains was studied in three field experiments. Two-factor analysis of variance of the obtained date demonstrated that the green mass yield and nitrogen accumulation depend on genotypes of both partners. The total contribution of plant and bacterial genotypes to the variation of green mass yield increased from 0-17% in the first year of alfalfa growth to 40-78% in the third year. Th… Show more

“…viceae strains is used for growth of shoot (grain) yield to a greater extent than for enrichment of plant biomass with nitrogen because N concentration in pea shoots (grain) was not changed significantly after inoculation (data not shown). Similar results were obtained previously during analysis of symbiotic efficiency of different alfalfa cultivars incoultated with effective R. meliloti strains (Provorov et al, 1994).…”

“…However, a higher number of nodules does not necessarily correspond to a higher yield of plant dry matter, as demonstrated by SLBR 2.1 alone or in co-inoculation with CIAT 899 strain. This fact indicates that the presence of great number of nodules not always is guarantee of effectiveness of an inoculum (Provorov et al, 1994) and that the compatibility between strains in mix inoculants is an important factor to be considered (Brown & Ahmad, 1996).…”
