Abstract
An investigation was carried out to study the nodulation characteristics of seven Indigenous/ naturalized tree legumes in Trichur district of Kerala State. The homesteads of five selected panchayats viz. Pananchery, Madakkathara, Nadathara, Puthur and Ollukkara of the district were surveyed to assess the natural nodulation and to collect nodules for isolating Rhizobium.• The response of these tree legumes to inoculation with local isolates and commercial cultures of Rhizobium were done by seed inoculation and growing the seedlings in a glass house. In a separate experiment, the soil collected from the base of the nodulating tree were also evaluated as an inoculant. The inoculation studies were laid out in CRD with ten replications.
