TextPublication details: 6th International PGPR Workshop, Calicut, 5-10 October 2003: Abstracts and Short PapersSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: Mucuna bracteata D C grown as a cover crop in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations in South India is poor in effective nodulation. When Mucuna seds were inoculated with an effective isolate of Bradyrhizobium prior to sowing, increased plant growth and consequent biomass addition, reduction in the weed population and increased soil microbial population were observed. Improvement in total organic carbon, nitrogen, available phosphorus and potassium in the soil was also resulted consequent to the inoculation.
