Abstract : Rhizobia are known to have specificity for their leguminous host. Bambara groundnut although a legume has shown promiscuous ability by nodulating with many Species of Rhizobia. Bradhyrhizobium spp. were recovered from selected Nigerian soils by trapping them in the nodules of Bambara groundnut (BG) using pot hose experiments. They were isolated from the nodules and authenticated in both screen house and field experiment. Six strains along-side USDA110 (control) were selected after they were found to be highly effective and efficient.
