The effect of Rhizobium spp. inoculation on seed quality of bean in Turkey.

Abstract

Rhizobium spp. (local isolate) was used to inoculate three bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties; Akman 98, Göynük 98 and Sehirali 90, in a factorial field experiment.

The objective of the experiment was to study effect of inoculation on seed yield, protein range, seed weight, non-soaker capacity and hydration index.

Rhizobium spp. inoculation and nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased characters tested.

This study revealed that inoculation with Rhizobium spp. improved seed quality.
