<p>Compositions for enhancing grain yield and protein yield of a pea and/or lentil grown under environmental conditions that inhibit or delay nodulation thereof are provided. The compositions comprise a nodulation gene-inducing compound such as flavones. Moreover, methods for enhancing grain yield and protein yield of a pea and/or lentil grown under environmental conditions that inhibit or delay nodulation thereof are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise an addition of an agriculturally effective amount of a nodulation gene-inducing compound such as flavones, in the vicinity of the seed or root of the pea and/or lentil. In particular, a condition which inhibits root nodulation is a root zone temperature below 25 °C.</p> |
