Abstract

The nodulation status of Acacia catechu seedlings at the nursery level in the mid hill region of Himachal Pradesh was not very good. Considerable variation in the number of nodules and in seedling height growth was observed both within and amongst the nursery sites. The relationship between number of nodules and seedling growth was not consistent. The present study illustrate the importance of seed treatment with site specific of rhizobia so as to overcome the variation in the nodulation status.
