Abstract:
Nodulation status of 15 leguminous species within 14 genera was examined. Of the 15 species only 4 were found non-nodulators. Cassia fistula (L.) of Cacsalpinioideae and Adenanthera pavonina (L) of Mimosoideae have been reported as for the first time from Pakistan whereas Bauhinia purpurea (L), Delonix regia (Bojer) Rafin. Peltophorium petrocarpum (DC) Backer ex. K. Heyne and Tamarindus indica L are being reported as non-nodulator. The rhizobia from Cassia fistula L and A. pavonina L were found alkali producing. Nodule colour, shape and frequency and cross nodulating properties of rhizobial isolates from Cassila fistula L. and A. pavonina L. in Vigna radiata were also described.
