Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of five methods of Rhizobi um inoculum application on nodulation and nitrogen fixation in Leucaena leu cocephala seedlings cultivated for 6 months in the greenhouse. Plants inocu lated with alginate beads were significantly more developed and more nodula ted than plants inoculated with the other methodologies used.
