Abstract
Acetylene reduction activity and N accumulation in the plant top/unit nodule mass were compared in groundnut cv. Starr, cowpea cv. California Blackeye and Macroptilium atropurpureum cv. Siratro, nodulated by 6 different strains of Rhizobium. Groundnut was found to have several fold higher values than cowpea and M. atropurpureum for both parameters for all strains of Rhizobium which nodulated it effectively, but the bacteroid content of the groundnut nodules was similar to those of cowpea and M. atropurpureum.
