Overview

Objectives
1. To select bean cultivars and rhizobia with tolerance to low P and N levels in soil, and able tonodulate and fix N2 under such limiting conditions in Eastern Africa. 2. To select bean cultivars and Rhizobium with tolerance to acid soil factors and able to nodulate and fix N2 at acid pH.
