Abstract

Experiments were undertaken to determine the effect ofPseudomonas fluorescens on nodulation of soybean by two strains ofBradyrhizobium japonicum, USDA I-110 and 61A76.Pseudomonas fluorescens can enhance the nodulation ability ofB. japonicum. Preincubation ofB. japonicum withP. fluorescens before inoculation further increased the level of nodulation.
