Soybean yield and nodule occupancy as a function of yearly inoculation in the Brazilian Cerrados.

The effects of yearly inoculation of three serologically distinct strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum (SEMIA 5079= CPAC-15), B. diazoefficiens (SEMIA 5080= CPAC-7) and B. elkanii (SEMIA 587) have been examined in a long-term field experiment in the Cerrado Region of Brazil. By the second year even though nodule occupancy by strains CPAC-7 and CPAC-15 decreased, soybean yield increases of 6,6% were observed in the treatments inoculated with these strains, showing the importance of reinoculation yearly with more efficient strains.
