Abstract

Grasspea. (Lathyrus sativus L.) varieties '8603', '8604' and 'Jamalpur Local' were inoculated with Rhizobium
strain RLs 10. Seed inoculation with this bacteria enhance,d nodulation, dry-matter weight and yield of grasspea cultivars
under field conditions. Results of 3-year observation showed that the advance lines '8603' and '8604' which had
maximum nodulation did not give a high seed yield and 'Jamalpur Local' recorded maximum seed yield but did not
show high nodulation as in the advance lines '8603' and '8604'. The advance line '8603' produced highest nodule
number (62.7,52.2 and 39.l/plant), nodule weight (81, 57 and 69 mg/plant) but 'Jamalpur Local' recorded highest seed
yield (1.67, 1.48 and 1.73 tonnes/ha) owing to inoculation in 1991-92, 1992-93 and 1993-94 respectively.
