This experiment compared different rhizobia inoculant formulations on nodulation, growth and yield of field pea, lupin, faba bean, lentil and chickpea under varying rain-fed and soil moisture conditions on an acidic, red-brown earth at Wagga Wagga in the south-eastern cropping zone of southern NSW
Randomised complete block design with pulses as the main blocks and inoculation treatments as sub-plots; three replications
Stubble was absent from the preceding 2013 season
