and strains TAL 169 and TAL 1371 (Introduced) were used to inoculate two guar
cultivars namely, HFG-75 and Local, in split plot design with four replications
in field experiment at two locations (ElAin and Abu-Habil, North Kordofan State-Sudan).
The objective of the experiment was to study the effect of inoculation with
Bradyrhizobium on yield attributes, proximate composition and minerals
content of guar. Bradyrhizobium inoculation showed no significant (p<0.05)
effect on plant height (cm), number of fruiting branches/plant, number of pods/plant,
100-seed weight (g), grain yield and the yield kg/ha of the two guar cultivars
grown at Abu-Habil. At ElAin site, inoculation with ENRRI 16C significantly
(p<0.05) increased the plant height (by 25%) and fruiting branches/plant
(by 97%) of the two guar cultivars. Also, all treatments (except inoculation
of HFG-75 with ENRRI 16A) considerably improved the 100-seed weight (g) of the
tested cultivars compared to the control. The ash and protein contents of the
tested guar cultivars at the two locations showed no response to inoculation
by the four Bradyrhizobium strains. Also, the crude fibre content of
guar seeds in the two sites did not responded to Bradyrhizobium inoculation,
excluding the local cultivar treated with ENRRI 16C and TAL 1371 grown at Abu-Habil.
The oil content for HFG-75 cultivar at the two locations showed positive response
to inoculation with TAL 1371. The phosphorus content of the two cultivars, at
both Abu-Habil and ElAin was notably increased due to inoculation. At ElAin
site, inoculation did not influenced the phosphorus content except for HFG-75
treated with ENRRI 16C and local cultivar inoculated by TAL 169. Potassium content
of the guar seeds from HFG-75 at the two locations as well as that for the local
cultivar at ElAin demonstrated no response to inoculation. Inoculation with
ENRRI 16C and TAL 169 significantly (p<0.05) promoted the Na content
of the local cultivar at Abu-Habil, whereas ENRRI 16A considerably increased
Na content for HFG-75 at ElAin location. The calcium content of HGF-75 guar
seeds was significantly (p<0.05) enhanced due to inoculation with
ENRRI 16C at Abu-Habil as well as treatment with ENRRI 16A, TAL 169 and TAL
1371 at ElAin. Conversely, Ca content of the local guar was not affected by
inoculation. Magnesium content of HGF-75 cultivar at Abu-Habil was positively
responded to Bradyrhizobium inoculation.]]>Abdelgani, M.E., E.A.E. Elsheikh and N.O.
