%0 Journal Article %T The Effect of Rhizobium spp. Inoculation on Seed Quality of Bean in Turkey %A Cigdem KuCuk %A Merih KivanC %J Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences %D 2008 %I Asian Network for Scientific Information %X Rhizobium spp. (local isolate) was used to inoculate three bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties; Akman 98, Goynuk 98 and Sehirali 90, in a factorial field experiment. The objective of the experiment was to study effect of inoculation on seed yield, protein range, seed weight, non-soaker capacity and hydration index. Rhizobium spp. inoculation and nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased characters tested. This study revealed that inoculation with Rhizobium spp. improved seed quality. %K Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) %K Rhizobiumspp. %K hydration index %K non-soaker capacity %U http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/ansinet/pjbs/2008/1856-1859.pdf
