Abstract: During the survey of the cultivated fields in Karachi and neighborhood (Southern Sindh), 3 strains of Rhizobium phaseoli, 1 strain of R. leguminosarum and R. trifolii each, 5 strains of Sinorhizobium meliloti, 2 strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and 3 strains of Bradyrhizobium sp. were isolated and identified. The 15 strains of rhizobia tested for their growth under saline media exhibited varying degree of effects to salt concentrations. Most resistant strain was that of S. meliloti MAT1(R9) while least resistant was that of Bradyrhizobium sp. VRM1(R13). All the rhizobial strains caused significant mortality of Meloidogyne incognita, the root-knot nematode juveniles in vitro, though the strains differed markedly in their toxic activity. The rhizobial strains showed significant interaction with NaCl salinity towards M. incognita
