Notes:
Summary It has been observed that in the case ofVigna radiata andGlycine max incorporation of suitable strain of Azotobacter gave higher yield than obtained by the use of Rhizobium as inoculant. In the case ofVigna radiata even a strain of Azotobacter isolated from the rhizosphere of berseem gave similar yields as Rhizobium. In the case ofPisum sativum association of Rhizobium with a strain ofAzotobacter chroococcum isolated from the rhizosphere of pea gave numerically higher yield than Rhizobium alone. It may be possible that statistically higher yield may be obtained when a suitable strain of Azotobacter is used after screening a large number of strains of Azotobacter from the rhizosphere of pea.
