文摘The paper studies the effect of incubation of rhizobia with soybean seeds lectin on formation and functioning of alfalafa-Sinorhizobium meliloti symbiosis under the optimal water supply and drought conditions. It was shown that the addition of lectin to the inoculation compositions intensifies physiological processes in alfalfa plants: increases nitrogen fixing activity of symbiosis, nodule number on roots, as well as chlorophyll and carotenoid content in leaves, enhances plant growth during budding-fruiting period and reduces the negative effect of drought on alfalfa productivity.
