An indirect, competitive, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to indentify strains (SU391, SU303, WSM937, NZP5472) of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae in the nodules of Pisum sativum and Vicia faba and to study the effect of legume species and indigenous R. l. viciae on the nod...
