Abstract

In this work the effect of inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum S2492 on soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr) growth, nodulation and yield in nitrogen-deficient soil of Uzbekistan was studied. The field experiments were carried out in Tashkent Province of Uzbekistan in a randomized complete block design with four replicates of each treatment. The results revealed positive effects on growth, nodule number and yields of soybean after inoculation with B. japonicum S2492. The yield of soybean varieties was 48% higher for inoculated than for uninoculated plants. The effect of the inoculation was specific for variety but not for growth type. The protein and oil contents of seeds also increased after inoculation. It was concluded that B. japonicum S2492 can be considered as a biofertilizer for increasing the productivity of soybean in nitrogen-deficient soils in Uzbekistan.
