Abstract

Galega orientalis is a potential forage legume suitable for low temperatures and acid soils in Finland. It is able to fix atmospheric nitrogen when living in symbiosis with its Rhizobium partner. There are no rhizobia nodulating G. orientalis in Finnish soils, so inoculation is essential. Rhizobium(Galega) (i.e. rhizobia nodulating G. orientalis and G. officinalis) differ from other rhizobia with respect to DNA-homology, phage-typing, and cross-inoculation. R.(Galega) is very host-specific: R. (G. orientalis) only nodulates G. orientalis effectively and G. officinalis ineffectively; whereas R.(G. officinalis) only nodulates G. officinalis effectively and G. orientalis ineffectively (Lindström et al 1983)
