Inoculation of soybeans is essential to the establishment of a successful N2-fixing symbiosis in western Canadian soils that lack indigenous soil Rhizobium japonicum. A comparison was thus made between commercial and non-commercial adhesive agents used to optimize inoculation of King Grain line X005 soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) with seed-applied powdered peat-based inoculant. Gum arabic (40%, wt/vol) and carboxymethyl cellulose (4% wt/vol), available only from chemical supply houses, were excellent adhesive agents, binding over 800 mg of the inoculant per seed and protecting bacteria from desiccation. Wallpaper glue (10%, wt/vol), readily available in the market place and in common use by some farmers, bound 894 mg of inoculant per seed. The two most readily available commercial adhesive agents, Nutrigum and Nitracoat, bound similar amounts of inoculant. The use of water as an adhesive agent did not nourish the bacteria or protect them from desiccation and can not be recommended. All 12 adhesive agents tested resulted in over 105 viable rhizobia per seed, satisfying inoculation requirements under the Fertilizers Act. However, the three best adhesive agents bound over 800 mg of inoculant to the seed resulting in over 106 viable rhizobia per seed and more than 100 nodules per plant.

Soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) often do not give yield responses to added fertilizer nitrogen (N) because high soil N levels inhibit fixation of atmospheric N2. Yield responses to N fertilizer applied at planting usually indicate that N2 fixation is less than optimal. The effects of inoculation with Rhizobium japonicum, and fertilizer N levels, on soybean N2(C2H2) fixation and seed yields in Ontario were investigated in ’ 1976 and 1977. Three locations were used each year, representing areas where soybeans had been grown for many years (Ridgetown), for only a few years (Elora), or not at all (Woodstock). Treatments were (a) Uninoculated + 0 N, (b–e) Inoculated + 0, 50, 100 or 200 kg N/ha. Results indicated that inoculation increased seed yields only when soybeans were introduced into new areas. Fertilizer N applications at planting time did not increase yields in areas where soybeans had been grown several times previously, indicating that N2 fixation could support maximum yields. Nodule number and mass, and N2(C2H2) fixation rates were all decreased by fertilizer N. An increase in nodule efficiency, later in the season, in high N treatments was most marked at Ridgetown.
