Abstract

In trials with chickpea, 4 inoculation methods compared were: (a) the conventional method (peat-based inoculum suspended in cellulose gum was thoroughly mixed with seeds), (b) liquid method (peat-based inoculum suspended in water was poured directly into the furrows), (c) direct peat placement method (peat-based inoculum mixed with soil was placed in the furrows) and (d) fresh broth inoculum was mixed with sterilized soil and placed in the furrows. Inoculation methods (a), (b), (c) and (d) produced 8.1, 21.5, 3.4 and 17.4 nodules/plant, gave a nodule dry wt./plant of 28.5, 51.5, 9.4 and 49 mg and seed yield/plant of 5.5, 6.7, 5.7 and 6 g, resp., indicating that (b) was the most effective, followed by (d).
