Abstract excerpt
Rhizobial inoculants are effective tools for maximizing legume productivity and ensuring the sustainability of legume-based systems. The bacterial diversity and symbiotic efficiency of rhizobia associated with mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) root nodules in Afghanistan are unclear. Hence, mung beans were inoculated with soil from Afghanistan, and 50 rhizobial strains were isolated. Based on colony morphology and...
