Effects of rhizobia inoculation and molybdenum application on nodulation, N uptake and yield of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in two sites of the humid forest zone of the Centre Region of Cameroon ( (Yaounde and Bokito), to study the interactive effect of rhizobia inoculation and Molybdenum (Mo) application on nodulation and yield of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments consisted of control (C), Rhizobium inoculation (R), Mo application (Mo) and a combination R+Mo. The results showed that Molybdenum and rhizobia inoculation had a significant effect on the yield of peanut at both sites. The inoculation with rhizobia showed a remarkable effect on the nodulation of the fallow of Yaounde (67. 73%) and not on the mixed- farm in Bokito (55. 43%) at P = 0.05. Nodulation was also stimulated through the combination of rhizobia inoculation with molybdenum application with increment of 111.26% and 50.44% nodule dry weight respectively for Yaounde and Bokito sites. The application of molybdenum alone improved significantly (P = 0.05) seed yield of peanut in both sites. However the increment was high in Yaoundé site (174%) as compared to Bokito site (10%). It stands out clearly that rhizobia inoculation combined with molybdenum application greatly enhanced biological N-fixation of peanut. The effect of these treatments on yield and the nitrogen uptake of peanut were much more remarkable on the fallow of Yaounde than the mixed-farm of bokito. It is therefore possible to greatly stimulate the biological N-fixation and the nitrogen uptake of peanut through symbiosis with the native rhizobia of the soil alone or after inoculation.
