The vegetation pot experiment was conducted at the Institute of Soil and Plant Sciences of the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effectiveness of five Rhizobium legumonosarum strains stored in the period from the 18th of August till the 20th of October 2006 in the collection of the Latvia University of Agriculture. Three of the five mentioned Rhizobium legumonosarum strains were included in the international Rhizobium database IBP World Catalogue of Rhizobium collections. Taking into consideration the results of the experiment it has been pointed out that all Rhizobium strains were active and inoculated plants formed nodules on the roots. Inoculation with Rhizobium strains increased the proportion between shoots and roots' weight. It has been found that the dry matter content of the inoculated plants increased in comparison with the untreated ones. In addition, negative correlation between the dry matter and the protein content has been observed.
