to ensure food and nutritional security in the region. The current study was conducted in two sites (Logboayo and Soubré) inthe south-west of Côte d’Ivoire to evaluatetheeffect of IRAT-FA3 Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain inoculumon the
agronomic performance of five varieties of soybean named Doko
Canarana V3_2013V6_2013 andIT_235. The experimental design was randomized complete block with a split plot with
inoculation as the main factor and variety of soybean as
subplot treatment replicated three times.Data were collected on some yield parameters and the grain yield. Results of yield showed a highly significant effect (P
