Abstract

Extracts and leachates of the grass Aristida adscensionis inhibited the growth of Rhizobium in sterile culture. The results confirm previous studies of the effects of A. adscensionis on the nodulation of Indigofera cordifolia, a common associate of the grass under dry conditions in north-west India.
