Soybean is considered to be a very important leguminous crop, it is necessary to find out ways to increase its yield and productivity. The application of Bradyrhizobium is found to be very useful in soybean cultivation for producing high yield as well as for keeping the soil fertile for the succeeding crops. Several different ways of application of Bradyrhizobium for enhancing the production and productivity of soybean crop had been work out. Inoculation of seeds with Bradyrhizobium culture gave significantly taller plants with more nodules, pods/plants, grains/pod and seed weight than untreated seeds. Yield of soybean increased due to inoculation.
