Abstract
Results of inoculation experiments with selected strains ofRhizobium japonicum indicated that indigenous strains occupied most of the nodules of soybeans grown in highRhizobium japonicum populated soils Nodule sampling indicated that inoculation did not result in quicker nodulation or a higher incidence of root nodules primary or secondary than uninoculated checks Rhizosphere studies indicated that colonization by introduced strains did occur but did not compete successfully with field strains for nodule sites Recovery of specific serological types from nodules was influenced by planting intervals The distribution of the serotypes varied with the time of planting and the age of the plant
