Kennedia macrophylla rhizobia

18 years ago

I have been growing Kennedia macrophylla here for several years, and now have about 1kg of seed from my plants. I'm thinking about expanding my planting area for an orchard area cover crop, but I want to know what is the best strain of Rhizobia for nodulation. My exisiting plants have nodulated on local bacteria, but I want to get the best possible N-fixation.

Does anyone know what type of inoculant is required? I am hoping to get some 'wattlegrow' Bradyrhizobium strains for my future Acacia plantings, does this selection work for K. macrophylla? Possibly not, as they are selections from SE not SW Aus.

My K. macrophylla cover crop so far (young avo. in foreground);
