Abstract

Seedlings of five NFT species growing in Himalayan region were assessed for their nodulation behaviour at nursery level. Nodulation in terms of nodule number was highest in Dalbergia sericea and Dalbergia sissoo but quantitatively Albizia stipulate had the highest nodule weight per plant. On the basis of nodule nitrogen, although A. stipulate had highest nitrogen turnover per plant, the rhizobial strain associated with D. sericea seems to be highly efficient than other species.
