Abstract

Usin a plant Infection d l l u t l o n method developed at ICRISAT for count ? ng chickpea rhlzobia the population of chickpea Rhizobiun has been studied i n Alfisols, Vertisols and Entisols. Sane of the soil samples collected from traditional chickpea growing areas have been found to have low populations of this specific Rhi obium Rhlzobium numbers de8c e ased wi th depth i n a Vertisol from + ; s o i l at [T-IS an to 1 per g s o i l at 90-120 cm. A 100-fold decrease in populat Ion was recorded when wet- 1 and paddy f 01 1 wed chickpea. Of flve ICRISAT mandate crops (sorghum, millet, groundnut, chickpea and plgeonpea) i n pot culture, chickpea roots are most stitnulatory t o the ~~ultlplicatioonf chickpea rhlzobia.
