Abstract
Rhizobium strains nodulating green gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] were found to produce bacteriocin on modified Bergersen's medium and inhibited the growth of homologous Rhizobium strains. Four bacteriocin producing and four bacteriocin non-producing strains were compared for their effect on nodulation, in planta nitrogenase activity and plant dry weight of green gram. The bacteriocin producers formed more nodules in comparison to non-bacteriocin producers. However, the symbiotic effectiveness of bacteriocin producers was less in terms of plant dry weight in comparison to non-bacteriocin producers.
