title: Inhibition ofAzorhizobium andRhizobium by seed leachates.
abstract: During germination of seeds ofSesbania rostrata, S. aculeata andS. speciosa various constituents, including tannin, free amino acids, protein, nitrogen and sugars, were released. Tannin released byS. speciosa after 24 h was particularly high. The growth ofAzorhizobium andRhizobium were inhibited in the presence of these materials.
