Popis: The direct consequences of this phenomenon are loss of inoculation efficacy, as the introduced inoculant strain can be outcompeted by new emerging strains, which could be poor nitrogen-fixers but will occupy most of the nodules, providing little nitrogen to the current crop. Similar problems may arise if new legume genotypes are introduced, along with new inoculants,in the future.
