Abstract

In 56-day-old plants, Leucaena leucocephala and its hybrid with L. diversifolia showed 100% more total N than did L. diversifolia. Significant (P < 0.01) host-inoculation interaction in total N was 14.4% of the total phenotypic variation. The most effective and competitive Rhizobium sp. for the leucaenas was TAL 1145. Three-strain mixed inoculation was inferior to TAL 1145 alone.
