An experiment was conducted to study the comparative salt tolerance of 12different strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum (NIFTAL and USDA series) andstrains isolated from locally grown soybean nodules collected from 3 differentfield locations under different salinity levels of sodium chloride (0, 25, 50, 75and 100 mM NaCl corresponding to 0, 0.15, 0.29, 0.44 and 0.59 % NaCl,respectively). The rhizobium strains isolated from nodules were found to behighly sensitive when compared to the strains of NIFTAL and USDA seriessince there was a growth reduction of more than 80 % at the level of 50 mMNaCl. A wide range of variation was observed in the growth response ofNIFTAL and USDA series with comparatively less reduction at the level of 50mM NaCl. The strains TAL-950, TAL-102, TAL-103, TAL-377 were foundcomparatively salt tolerant.
