In order to evaluate the saline tolerance of Rhizobium loti strains (NFB 494 and SEMIA 6069) on Leucaena leucocephala-cv K8, an experiment was carried out using a Red-Yellow Podzolic, submitted to different levels of soil salinity (C.E. = 1.5; 6.6; 10.1; 12.8 e 14.4 mS cm-1). For comparative purposes, a non-inoculated treatment was added with and without mineral fertilization (200 mg kg-1 soil of N as NH4NO3). The experimental design was a complete randomized block, arranged in a 5 x […]
