Abstract
This research reports the effect of Bradyrhizobium spp strains on dry matter yield, nodulation and seed yield of soybean varieties grown in N-deficient soil in Uzbekistan in pot and field experiments, in 2001 and 2002. The results of experiments revealed that significant positive effects on growth, nodule number and yield of soybean were obtained after inoculation with Bradyrhizobium spp strains; and, generally, strains S62 and S63 were more effective than strain S61. The protein content of seeds also increased after inoculation. Both Orzu and Uzb2 soybean varieties gave a higher response than the Uzb6 variety.
