Se describen los resultados obtenidos durante 1981 por la seccion de Microbiologia del Suelo del Programa de Pastos Tropicales del CIAT, cuyos objetivos especificos son: 1) seleccionar leguminosas forrajeras promisorias que no requieren inoculacion; 2) seleccionar cepas de Rhizobium para leguminosas que si necesitan inoculacion; y 3) evaluar el efecto de las tecnicas de inoculacion y practicas de manejo de pastos en la nodulacion y fijacion de N en el campo. Se presentan los resultados de 1) expt. de respuesta de leguminosas a la inoculacion y fertilizacion con N en suelo sin perturbar; 2) comparacion entre la inoculacion y fertilizacion con N en suelo perturbado y sin perturbar y estudios sobre mineralizacion; 3) seleccion de cepas de Rhizobium en nucleos de suelo de Carimagua sin perturbar; y 4) respuesta al N de la leguminosa sin inocular en el campo.
