Abstract

A two season field experiment and a single season screen house experiment were conducted to assess the effect of water stress periods and rhizobial inoculation in five (5) P. vulgaris (L.) cultivars. The experiment consisted of 2 levels of rhizobia (with and without rhizobial inoculation), two stress levels (with and without water stress) and five cultivars of P. vulgaris (L.) (KAT B9, KAT B1, F9 Kidney Selection, F8 Drought line and JESCA). Results showed that flavonoid and anthocyanins (g-1.DM) concentrations were higher in non- inoculated and water stressed treatments. Varieties F8 Drought line, JESCA, and F9 Kidney Selection significantly recorded higher flavonoid and anthocyanins content in both field and screen house experiment as compared with the other tested varieties. Significant interactive effects were also observed between inoculation, water stress periods and the tested P vulgaris (L.) varieties.
