Abstract

Synopsis Seed of alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil which were inoculated with Rhizobium were subjected to 0, 1, 3, 5, and 16 hours of sunlight, and O, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of desiccation in a dry soil. Less effective inoculation resulted in some tests when the seed were subjected to 3 or more hours of sunlight or 2 or more weeks of desiccation in a dry soil.
