Abstract: | Summary Flatpea (Lathyrus sylvestris L.) requires seed scarification for rapid germination and specificRhizobium leguminosarum strain for nodulation. Methods of inoculation were investigated to determine which would be effective for at least two weeks after seeding. Application of powdered peat to wet seeds was inadequate. Lime pelleting and granular soil implants were effective inoculants, but there appears to be a different advantage to seedling for earch metod. Granular soil implant caused nodulation to a greater depth on the tap root, and lime pelleting caused plants to exhibit higher acetylene reduction activity. |
