Abstract Bradyrhizobium sp. (Vigna) strain S24 interacted differentially with eight vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi and caused significant variations in nodulation and growth parameters of green gram. Coinoculation with Scutellospora calospora resulted in the highest nitrogenase activity and dry biomass. The nodulation competitiveness of strain S24 was significantly higher (60–63%) in the presence of Glomus mosseae, G. fasciculatum and Scutellospora calospora when compared to treatment with single inoculation of S24 (51%). Percentage VAM colonization was higher in treatments having higher nocule occupancy of introduced strain (S24).
