Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Beans exhibited low biological nitrogen fixation.
- Association Beans potentially competed with companion species for soil nitrogen in mixtures.
- Intervention effect Chickpea nitrogen fixation was enhanced in mixtures.
- Intervention effect Chickpea biomass, phosphorus and potassium were higher in monoculture than mixtures with beans.
- Intervention effect Bean calcium, magnesium and zinc concentration was higher with chickpeas than Sorghum.
- Association Benefits of cereal legume mixtures depended on species growth rate.
- Recommendation Legume legume mixtures may improve nitrogen use efficiency in intercrop systems.
