Nodule Rating System-Pulses\n\nOur assessment of nodulation consists of scoring and counting nodules on individual plants.Nodulation asessments are usually done at 7-8weeks  \nafter sowing and are sometimes followed by another assessment at 13-15 weeks for grain legume species.  \nPlants are carefully dug up(usually a 20-50 plant sample per plot or paddock)and any loose soil is gently shaken off.The plants are then placed inlarge plastic or paper bags and transported back to the lab where they are thoroughly washed out with water.Care has to be taken throughout thisprocedure to avoid knocking any nodules off the roots.  \nNodulation is scored according to the number,size and distribution of nodules on the root system.The basis for our scoring is the following scale:Nodulation Scores  \n0  \n1  \n2  \n3  \n4  \n5  \n6  \n7  \n8  \n9  \n10  \nNo nodules  \n\u003C15 nodules  \n\u003C20 nodules  \n\u003C25 nodules  \n5 nodules  \nCrown nod'n  \nCrown nod'n C rown nod'n

number of individual nodules,mainly found on the lateral roots.Scores of 7to 10 indicate crown nodulationwhich usually occurs on the tap root just below the seed.Crown nodulation consists of a large nodule or tightly packed group of nodules whichcompletely encircles the tap root close to the seed.Large nodules score higher than small nodules and the size of large nodules varies betweenspecies.For example a faba bean nodule is clasified large if it is larger than the size of a normal garden pea,whereas a large lentil nodule is onlyhalf the size.Large chickpea nodules are usually clusters of6-20 small nodules and may be fan,clover leaf or walnut shaped.The latter shape iscommon as a crown nodule.The exact number of nodules per plant is also recorded for grain legumes.  \nNodule Rating
