Study on the morphological characters of 25 soybean varieties in terms of interaction with nitrogen-fixing bacteria indigenous to SCDA Turda

Abstract

Our study aimed to underline the morphological characters of 25 soybean varieties of both Romanian and foreign origin in the ecopedological background of SCDA Turda in the presence of a nitrogen-fixing bacteria indigenous to the soil. Activities undertaken to reach this goal encompassed carrying out biometrical determinations of the plants (root length, plant height and number of leaves) and registering the number of nodules for each separate variety. Analyzing the data regarding the afore-mentioned parameters revealed significant morphological differences between the varieties, all of which were statistically relevant.
