Abstract
The legume inoculant industry in New Zealand was surveyed to ascertain its size and its importance to the country' s agriculture. Approximately 1452 tonnes of legume seed, either inoculated or coated and inoculated, was sown in 1973 and in 1974; the seed was worth approximately $3 million and the inoculant and coating materials $0.4 million. An estimated 0.3 million hectares was sown. Areas where there would be a continuing demand for inoculated and coated and inoculated seed were identified. Rhizobial strains currently used in commercial inoculants in New Zealand were listed, and strains used in imported Australian inoculants noted.
