    Notes: Abstract This work was designed to determine whether a plant culture method on non-solid media could be used as an alternative for inoculation of Acacia mangium with selected strains of Bradyrhizobium spp. A. mangium seedlings were grown and inoculated with Bradyrhizobium strain Aust13c and strain Tel2 in hydroponics, aeroponics and sand. Aeroponics was found to be the best system of the three, allowing the production of tree saplings 1 m in height after only 4 months in culture. Moreover, compared to plants grown in liquid or sand media, aeroponically grown saplings inoculated with Bradyrhizobium spp. developed a very high number of small nodules distributed all along the root system, resulting in an increase in nitrogen and chlorophyll content in plant tissues. We propose aeroponics as an alternative method to classical soil inoculation procedures for the production of hypernodulated legume tree saplings.

    Notes: Summary A field study carried out in a sandy, relatively acid Senegalese soil with a low soluble P content (7 ppm) and low vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) populations showed that soybean responded toGlomus mosseae inoculation when the soluble P level in the soil had been raised by the addition of 22 kg P ha−1. In P-fertilized plots, N2 fixation of soybean, assessed by the A value method, was 109 kg N2 fixed hat when plants were inoculated withRhizobium alone and it reached 139 kg N2 fixed ha−1 when plants were dually inoculated withRhizobium andGlomus mosseae using an alginate bead inoculum. In addition to this N2 fixation increase (+28%),Glomus mosseae inoculation significantly improved grain yield (+13%) and total N content of grains (+16%). This success was attributed mainly to the low infection potential of the native VAM populations in the experimental site. In treatments without solubleP or with rock phosphate, no effect of VAM inoculation was observed.

    Notes: Abstract Plant growth performance, the P content in root and nodule tissues, and nodulation and N2-fixing ability were studied in four provenances of Acacia mangium from Papua New Guinea following different levels of P fertilizer application. A. mangium did not seem to need high levels of P for growth and N2 fixation. The response by this leguminous tree to the P supply varied significantly according to provenance and to P concentrations in the culture solution. The provenances of A. mangium were classified into three types according to their P response: (1) Growth performance, nodulation, and N2 fixation of plants were stimulated as concentrations of P increased (provenance PH 482); (2) the maximal effect of P on plant growth was found only at P concentrations higher than 500 μM (provenance PH 484); and (3) the plant response to P fertilization was low, even with nutrient solutions containing P concentratins higher than 500 μM (provenances PH 483 and PH 485). Provenance PH 483 was distinguished by its low nodulating ability. However, this provenance grew well, probably because of its high N2 fixation efficiency as expressed by specific acetylene reduction activity and its high P content in nodule tissues. Therefore, in certain cases, these two parameters may be useful criteria in selecting leguminous plants for field use. Statistical analyses of the study results showed that the effect of the factor P supply on N2 fixation efficiency and nodule development was only significant at P concentrations lower than 250 μM whereas the effect of the factor plant provenance was significant regardless of the P concentration used. This observation emphasizes the value of provenance screening in the identification of plants for use in a wide range of soil types.

    Notes: Summary Two Australian Acacia species, A. mangium and A. auriculiformis were inoculated in vitro with eight strains of Bradyrhizobium spp. and two strains of Rhizobium spp. On the two plant species, only Bradyrhizobium spp. strains formed effective N2-fixing nodules. A. mangium, which nodulates effectively with a restricted range of Bradyrhizobium spp. strains, is a specific host compared to A. auriculiformis. A. auriculiformis is assumed to be a promiscuous host because it nodulates effectively with a wide range of Bradyrhizobium spp. strains. Nodule efficiency as expressed by the ratio of N2 fixed to nodule dry weight appeared to be higher in A. auriculiformis (0.44–0.81) than in A. mangium (0.23–0.55).

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé On a inoculéV. unguiculata poussant dans un sol Dek stérile avecRhizobium etRhizobium plusGlomus mosseae. On a recherché la réponse de la plante-hôte à ces deux traitements en estimant périodiquement les poids des nodules et des parties aériennes de la plante, la fixation d'azote (activité réductrice de C2H2), les teneurs en N et P jusqu'au 50e jour du cycle de végétation. C'est seulement au 45e jour après la plantation que le poids sec des parties aériennes des plantes inoculées avec deux symbiotes (plantes doublement inoculées) diffère significativement de celui des plantes inoculées avec Rhizobium seul. Le poids sec des nodules et la fixation N2 des plantes doublement inoculées sont significativement plus élevés que ceux des plantes inoculées avecRhizobium seul au 20e jour après la plantation mais il n'y a pas de différence significative pour la teneur en N (%). Pendant les 20 premiers jours, la teneur en P (%) des parties aériennes des deux catégories de plantes décroit progressivement; la teneur en P des plantes doublement inoculées est plus faible que celle des plantes inoculées seulement avecRhizobium. Plus tard, la teneur en P des plantes doublement inoculées augmente rapidement tandis que celle des autres plantes reste constante. L'accroissement du poids sec des nodules, de la fixation d'azote et de la teneur en P observé chez les plantes doublement inoculées correspond au démarrage du développement des hyphes extra-radicales deGlomus mosseae dans la rhizosphère.
    Abstract: Resumen Se cultivóVigna unguiculata cv. 58–185 en un suelo estéril tipo Dek, se inoculó conRhizobium sp. o conRhizobium sp. másGlomus mosseae. La respuesta de la planta huésped a los tratamientos se estudió midiendo periodicamente el peso seco de la parte aerea y de los nódulos, la fijación de N (actividad reductora de C2H2) y los contenidos de N y P hasta el 50° día del ciclo de crecimiento. La diferencia entre el peso seco de la parte aerea de las plantas con doble inoculación y aquellas inoculadas conRhizobium sp. unicamente, no fue significativa hasta 45 días despúés de la siembra. A los 20 días de la siembra tanto el peso seco de los nódulos como la fijación de nitrógeno de las plantas con doble inoculación eran significativamente superiores a los valores obtenidos para las plantas con soloRhizobium sp., aunque no se observaron diferencias en el contenido en N (%). Durante los primeros 20 días del ciclo el contenido en P (%) de ambos grupos de plantas disminuyó progresivamente, siendo los valores obtenidos por las plantas con doble inoculación inferiores a los de las demás. Más tarde el contenido en P de las plantas con doble inoculación aumentó rapidamente manteniéndose constante el de las demás. El incremento en el peso seco de los nódulos, en la fijación de N y en el contenido en P de las plantas con doble inoculación se correspondió con el inicio del desarrollo de las hifas extraradiculares deGlomus mosseae.
    Notes: Summary Vigna unguiculata cv. 58–185 grown in a sterile Dek soil was inoculated withRhizobium sp. orRhizobium sp. plusGlomus mosseae. Response of the host plant to the treatments was estimated by periodic measurements of shoot and nodule dry weights, N2 fixation (C2H2 reduction activity) and N and P contents up to the 50th day of the growth cycle. It was only 45 days after planting that shoot dry weight of dually inoculated plants differed significantly from that of plants inoculated withRhizobium sp. alone. Nodule dry weight and N2 fixation of dually inoculated plants were significantly higher than those of plants inoculated withRhizobium sp. alone from day 20 after planting, but there was no significant difference in N content (%). During the first 20 days, shoot P content (%) of both sets of plants decreased progressively, P content of dually inoculated plants being lower than that of the others. Later, P content of dually inoculated plants increased rapidly whereas P content of the other plants remained constant. Increase in nodule dry weight, N2 fixation and P content of dually inoculated plants corresponded to the onset of the development of the extra-radical hyphae ofGlomus mosseae. In the rhizosphere.

    Notes: Abstract The growth of Frankia cells within alginate beads was inhibited when the amount encapsulated exceeded 0.5 to 2.5 μg protein/ml of beads. Frankia growth was observed not only in the beads incubated in nutrient media (with of without combined N), but also in those incubated in air provided they retained enough nutrients. The results allow some recommendations to be made for the preparation of Frankia inoculants.

    Notes: Summary Field and cylinder experiments conducted in France and in Senegal showed that polyacrylamide, previously proposed as an entrapping gel for preparing Rhizobium inoculants, could be replaced by alginate (AER inoculant) or a mixture of xanthan and carob gum (XER inoculant). Semi-dried or dried AER and XER were used successfully provided that their storage time was less than 90 days. In soil inoculation trails, no marked differences were observed among semi-dried XER, dried AER, and dried XER. A number of seed inoculation experiments indicated that dried XER significantly outranked AER. Seeds preinoculated by up to 48 days with XER yielded plants which were comparable in nodulation and growth parameters to those derived from plant receiving peat inoculation at the time of planting.

    Notes: Summary This field study was undertaken to determine the effect of inoculation withGlomus mosseae on N2 fixation and P uptake by soybean. The inoculation withGlomus mosseae was achieved using a new type of inoculant, alginate-entrapped (AE) endomycorrhizal fungus. N2 fixation was assessed using the A value method. In P-fertilized plots, inoculation with AEGlomus mosseae increased the harvest index based on dry weight (+20%) and N content of seeds (+17%), the A value (+31%) and %N derived from fixation (+75%). Inoculation with AEGlomus mosseae decreased the coefficient of variation for the A value and for the dry weights of the different plant parts.

    Notes: Abstract A large scale field experiment (ca 1 ha) was carried out in Senegal, to evaluate the response ofCasuarina equisetifolia to inoculation withFrankia strain ORS 021001 entrapped in alginate beads. Biomasses (expressed as dry weight or total nitrogen) of assimilatory branchlets, wood and roots, and nodules were measured in uninoculated and inoculated trees, randomly sampled 1,2 and 3 years after transplantation in the field. When biomasses were expressed as dry weight, increases due to inoculation were similar at the three sampling dates, 45, 36 and 40%, respectively. When biomasses were expressed as total nitrogen, the response to inoculation with time was much higher in the 2nd year than in the 1st and 3rd year. N2 fixation, estimated using the difference method reached 2.48, 12.25 and 13.44 g N2 fixed annually per tree. Correspondingly, nodule dry weights, expressed in g per tree, were 2.5, 12.18 and 22.75 at the end of the 1 st, 2nd and 3rd year, respectively. In spite of the positive response of field-grownCasuarina equisetifolia to inoculation, the decrease of N2 fixation observed in the third year was probably due to unfavorable climatic conditions coupled with insect attacks at the beginning of the third year.
