Summary
Wide variations in nodulation and nitrogen uptake have been observed in Vigna radiata (moong), Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar), Phaseolus aconitifolius (moth) and Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), grown in desertic loamy sand soil. Differences in this regard, between the varieties of a legume, however, were not so marked. Guar and moth exhibited relatively poor nodulation as compared to cowpea and moong. Host factors like root growth pattern, rather than the soil rhizobial population, seemed to have a direct influence on the nodulation patterns. The time course of nodulaiton during different growth stages of these legumes showed distinctive patterns. [AS]
