Thirty one isolates of Rhizobia isolated from root nodules of Crotalaria pallida Ait., Crotalaria verrucosa L. and Crotalaria retusa L. growing in coastal regions of Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts of Maharashtra showed 8% tolerance against NaCl (Sodium chloride). Physiological and biochemical characterization of these Rhizobium spp. were studied on non saline and modified saline YEMA medium. The aim of the experiments was to select salt tolerant Rhizobia which could be better perform in saline soil.
