Summary

Beneficial effects on yield and N-assimilation in wheat cv. HD2329 due to inoculation with nine strains belonging to six species and cowpea miscellany of genus rhizobium and Azotobacter were observed. Stimulation of soil Azotobacter and Azospirillum in the root region of wheat occurred due to seed inoculation with Rhizobium.
