N2  - Tests of 84 cultures of root-nodule bacteria isolated from four species of clover growing in the Lismore district of New South Wales (three soil types, 18 localities) showed them to be generally effective in association with white and red clovers, but almost always parasitic on subterranean and crimson clovers. Successful seed inoculation with beneficial strains of rhizobia is, therefore, essential to the introduction of subterranean and crimson clovers in these soils. Field observations have also demonstrated the need to inoculate seed of Medicago species, cowpea, and vetch.
