Abstract

Response of Sesbania grandiflora in coastal saline sand dune soil to single and dual inoculations of mycorrhiza and a salinity tolerant Rhizobium strain was tested in pot culture. Both single and dual inoculations of mycorrhiza and Rhizobium gave significantly higher root and shoot dry matter yield over control. Difference between single inoculations of either Rhizobium or mycorrhiza was not significant but dual inoculations of both gave significantly higher yield than single inoculations of either mycorrhiza or Rhizobium.
