A field experiment was conducted on lentil in calcareous saline-alkali soil to evaluate the effectiveness of single and mixed culture inoculation of Azospirillum (strains ICM-104 and SL-33) and Rhizobium (strains TAL-634 and LC-5). Rhizobium alone or in combination with either of the two Azospirillum strains significantly increased the total number of nodules and dry weight of nodules/plant. Significant increases in straw yield and considerable increase in grain yield also were obtained from inoculation with Rhizobium LC-5+Azospirillum SL-33 at 45 days after sowing. Yield and uptake parameters were positively and significantly correlated with total number and oven-dry weight of nodules/plant
