Summary
Micro-organisms capable of forming effective nodules on roots ofAlnus viridis have been found to be present in New Zealand soils. It is concluded that endemic soil organisms suitable for nodulation ofAlnus viridis occur, and cross inoculation trials have indicated that there are probably differences between organisms forming nodules with various species of alders.
