Abstract
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Several experiments were carried out on some legume crops (Soybean and lentil) during the seasons 1982/1983 and 1983/1984 to study the effect of certain factors. Rhizobia strain, type of inoculant, irrigation, N—fertilization and trace elements, on the nodulation, growth and yield of these crops under Assiut conditions.
The field experiments were conducted in the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Assiut. Meanwhile, the screen house experiments were conducted in sterilized sand. Twelve strains of Rhiobium japonicurn were tested in soybean experiments and eight Rhizobiurn egwninosarum strains were used in lentil experiments. The investigation included also testing of three kinds of inoculants: locally prepared inoculants (Peat or Bran) Niftal Peat Inoculant and Nibragin Granulated Inoculant. In the trace elements experiment the elements Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Co and Mo were applied either singly or mixed; to the soil or as foliar spray in the case of lentil, whereas in soybean the trace elements were supplied only as a soil treatment. In all experiment, the area of each plot was 1/400 feddan tre&ted with supephosphate before sowing at a rate of 150 kg superphosphate/feddan. The plants were sampled after 45—60 days from planting and before flowering. Samples were subjected to the following determinations. The number of
