Summary:In the present investigation, by keeping the bacterial component constant through inoculation with a widely used commercial inoculant, containing effective strains of Rhizobium japonicum (Kirchner) for soybeans, the variation in root nodulation of 87 germplasm lines was studied and correlated with their seed characters to determine any association between them. After four weeks, data on the mean number of nodules per plant and hypocotyl colour for each line, were recorded. The results were statistically analysed to obtain correlation of coefficients between the color of the seed coat (yellow or black), the hypocotyl colour (pink or not) and mean seed weight of 100 seeds, with the mean number of nodules per plant.
