The population of Bradyrhizobium which could nodulate Pueraria phaseoloides in acid soils was observed to be very low. The effectiveness of nodules produced by P. phaseoloides was also found to be low. Inoculation of P. phaseoloides seed with six selected bradyrhizobial isolates increased nodulation, biomass production, nitrogenase activity and spread of the cover crop. However, only two isolates showed prolonged effect. The total N in soils under cover crop inoculated with different bradyrhizobial isolates did not show any variationa.
