Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper is an important annual leguminous species in tropical and sub-tropical regions. The aim of this research was to investigate the possibility of Vigna mungo cultivation as a newly introduced crop in Serbia, by applying seed inoculation with highly effective rhizobial strains in the form of microbial nitrogen (N) fertilizer. The effects of inoculation with rhizobial strain were estimated in field conditions on alluvium soil types. Inoculated plants produced significantly higher shoot dry weight (SDW) yield, total N content as well as protein yield in respect to untreated control (0). According to plant shoot yield and yield attributes strain 542 was highly effective without significant differences in comparison to its treatment in combination with mineral N as well as uninoculated control with full rate of mineral N, 80 kg/ha N (N0). Taking into account these results and aims of sustainable agriculture 542 strain might be recommended as active agent of N microbiological fertilizer.
