Effect of Inoculation of Soybean Seed on Yield

Author:

Abstract

The soybean, being a legume, has the capacity to form root nodules and to fix nitrogen from the air. Rhizobia bacteria must be present for the soybeans to fix nitrogen. Because of the development of new strains of rhizobia and the new formulations of inoculants, a study was conducted to test whether a seed-applied inoculant, Sow-fast, would increase yield.
