Abstract: Legumes inoculation improves the ability of legume to fix N2 and consequently soil fertility for the succeeding crop. Maize yield response to legume inoculation with indigenous rhizobial strain in a legume-maize sequence was investigated in three soil types: Nitosol, Luvisol and Alfisol. The experiment on each soil type was a randomized complete blocked design with rhizobial inoculation treatments: IDC8, R25B+IRj2180A, TRC2, O1a6(c3a) and no inoculation; maize rotation with soybean TGx1448-2E (1448-M), TGx1908-1F (1908-M) and TGx1910-2F (1910-M), cowpea IT89KD-288 (288-M) and IT97K-568-18 (568-M) and continuous maize cropping (M-M). Data were collected and analyzed on the soil characteristics, stover and grain yield and N and P uptake. Legume-maize sequence and rhizobial inoculation significantly (P
