Abstract
Two indigenous rhizobial strains (SB-1 and JJS-1) infectingSesbania bispinosa survived at room temperature (32±2°C) up to 90 days in filtermud (the best system), peat, charcoal, sugarcane bagasse and sawdust (the poorest system). Viable counts remained more than 108/g up to 75 days in filtermud, peat and charcoal.
