Abstract
The term para-nodule was introduced by Tchan and Kennedy (1989) to describe the chemically induced nodule since it differs from the naturally occurring legume nodule. Chemical treatment combined with inoculation with diazotrophs appears to be the most successful for inducing para-nodule formation (Zeman et al., 1992). In this work, the phenomenon of para-nodulation in wheat cultivars inoculated with various diazotrophs was investigated in the presence of different concentrations of 2,4-D, IAA and tryptophan.
