Title: Survival of Rhizobium phaseoli in coal-based legume inoculants applied to seeds

Journal Article · · Appl. Environ. Microbiol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5500514

Eight coals used as carriers in legume inoculants promoted the survival of Rhizobium phaseoli on pinto bean seeds. Although peat was more protective, most coal-based inoculants provided >10/sup 4/ viable rhizobia per seed after 4 weeks.
