A QUALITATIVE STUDY
OF THE NODULATING ABILITY OF LEGUMES OF
PAKISTAN-LIST 6
A.
MAHMOOD AND RAIHA QADRI
Abstract:
Nodulation was studied in 31 species
belonging to 24 genera distributed in 18 tribes of subfamilies
Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae from Balochistan. Of
these Caesalpinia gilliesii (Hook) Dietr., Delonix regia (Bojer)
Rafin., Cercis siliquastrum Linn., and Ebenus stellata
Boiss., were found as non-nodulators whereas Senna holosericea of
Caesalpinioideae, Caragana ambigua and Onobrychis dealbata
of Papilionoideae have been reported as nodulators for the first time.
The nodulation status of Ebenus stellata as non- nodulator is
also being reported for the first time. Nodule colour, shape and
frequency of the nodulated species is described.
