TABLE 2.
Yield components and HI for the combined analysis of 2017 and 2018 and inoculant treatments in field trial.
| Inoculation treatment | Pods per plant | Seeds per pod | 100-seeds weight (dry) (g) | HI (dry basis) |
| Negative control | 9.31a | 3.90 a | 37.6 a | 52.2bc |
| Re CFN42T (perlite) | 11.32b | 4.30 b | 37.6 a | 47.6a |
| Rp ATCC 14482T (perlite) | 12.54c | 4.27 b | 37.8 a | 50.7ab |
| N fertilized non-inoculated control | 13.20c | 4.43 b | 38.9 a | 54.9bc |
| Rlp LCS0306 (perlite) | 13.40c | 4.51 b | 40.8 a | 59.7c |
The table contains the mean values of the yield obtained for the following treatments: inoculation with the autochthonous strain Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli LCS0306, the type strains of Rhizobium etli (Re CFN42T) and Rhizobium phaseoli (Rp ATCC 14482T) and the two non-inoculated controls (non-fertilized and N-fertilized). Data followed by the same letter did not significantly differ at p < 0.05 in the LSD test.
