Abstract
The present invention is directed to herbicide resistant Nfixing bacteria. The bacteria are useful for effecting Nfixation, nodulation, growth and yield of herbicide resistant or tolerant leguminous plants treated with herbicide. The bacteria are particularly useful for providing competitive advantage to superior Nfixing rhizobial strains over non-resistant indigenous rhizobia for nodulation of herbicide resistant or tolerant leguminous plants.
