in environmental conditions that may reduce or harm the growth or plants
development or their normal functions.This research was conducted in Antirogo
Village, Jember Regency and the Plant Protection Laboratory. This study used RAK
with a single factor consisting of 5 treatments (without rhizobium, 5 grams / l, 10
grams / l, 15 grams / l, and 20 grams / l). The results showed that the used of
rhizobium showed a significant differences on plant height, root length, dryroot
weight, drycrown weight, number of root nodules, root nodule weight, number of
pods, number of bernas pods, pod weight, and dryseeds weight. It gave the highest
average result at a concentration of 20 grams / l.
