Isolation and characterization of bacteria were done from the root nodules of African dhaincha (Sesbania rostrata) to study their effects on growth parameters, nodulation and N uptake. Five isolates were obtained from African dhaincha and were identified them as Azorhizobium on the basis of their colony, morphological and biochemical characteristics. A pot experiments were conducted by using 6 treatments, comprising 5 isolates of Azorhizobium and an uninoculated control to evaluate the performance of the isolates. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 replications. Azorhizobium inoculation gave statistically higher values for all the parameters viz. plant height, leaf number plant−1, dry weight of nodule, dry matter yield, N content of shoot (%), total N in shoot over uninoculated control (T0). The highest values of all the parameters except stem nodule number plant−1, root nodule weight and N content of shoot were obtained with the treatment T4 (SR-R-4). The total dry matter yield of African dhaincha ranged from 1217 mg plant−1 noted in the uninoculated control (T0) to 5483 mg plant−1 recorded for the treatment T4 (SR-R-4). The total dry matter yields were increased by 138, 219, 273, 351 and 290% over control (T0) due to T1 (SR-R-1), T2 (SR-R-2), T3 (SR-R-3), T4 (SR-R-4) and T5 (SR-R-5), respectively. Total N uptake by shoot of African dhaincha had been influenced significantly due to different treatments and the corresponding percent increases in total N uptake by shoot were 359, 496, 429, 629, and 490, respectively, due to T1 (SR-R-1), T2 (SR-R-2), T3 (SR-R-3), T4 (SR-R-4) and T5 (SR-R-5). Considering all the growth parameters, nodulation, dry matter yield, N content of shoot and total N uptake by shoot, it may be inferred that the isolate SR-R-4 showed the best performance. The isolates SR-R-5 and SR-R-3 were also found promising.
