        "abstract": "Three native Rhizobium strains were isolated from Musandam. Buraimi and the Agricultural Experiment Station at Sultan Qaboos University in the Sultanate of Oman. An internationally known Rhizobium strain (TAI. 1373} was obtained from the Nitrogen Fixation for Tropical Agriculture I.egume Collection at the University of Hawaii. U.S.A-. for comparison. The different abilities of the strains to nodulate Medicago sativa I. were investigated. Different plant parameters namely, the fresh and dry weights of the shoot (g/plant ). the number of nodules per plant and the nitrogenase activity (u mole C2H2/sample/3hours) were measured. The results showed that the native Rhizobia were capable of nodulating M saliva. But inoculation with effective known strains such as TAL1373 enhanced nodulation."
