Effect of lime, manure and inoculation on nodulation and yield of common bean [electronic resource].

Includes references.

A field experiment was performed to assess the effects of rates and methods of lime. manure and inoculation on root nodules, pods end grains yield ofcommon bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).it comprised two methods, broadcasting and banding with four rates of lime 0,1,2 and 4 mega gram/ha (Mg ha-1), two rates 0 and 20 Mg ha-1 of manure and inoculation and uninoculation with Rhizobium phaseoli, Chemical properties of the soil were determined. Nodules weight. pods and grains yields were recorded. The data obtained were statistically analyzed. The results indicated that soil pH was almost unchanged for the untreated plots while slightly increased from 4.3 to 4.9 and 5.1 for lime with and without manure respectivety. Key words: Common bean, inoculation, lime. manure. nodulation. Rhizobium leguminosaum bv phaseoli.
