The effect of two pesticides (Vitavax-300 and Gaucho) on rhizobia and on the nodulation of four legumes
The application of seed-protecting pesticides is often a prerequisite for raising legumes in the tropics. However, these chemicals may influence the development of root nodule symbiosis. In the present study, high concentrations of Gaucho insecticide (imidacloprid) and Vitavax-300 fungicide (carboxi...
