Title
Fertilizer‐N Effects on N2 Fixation by Cowpea and Soybean1
A. R. J. Eaglesham; S. Hassouna; R. Seegers Agronomy Journal 1983. doi:10.2134/agronj1983.00021962007500010016x
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Preflowering nitrogen levels that stimulated symbiosis were an order of magnitude above earlier reports.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer nitrogen at 36 mg N/plant increased nodule weights up to fourfold.
- Observation Symbiotic responses varied across nitrogen treatments and hosts, with no single treatment optimal for all three legumes.
- Intervention effect Applied nitrogen acted synergistically on total nitrogen fixed in each host under various treatments.
- Intervention effect Soybean given urea at 30 mg N/plant had the strongest synergism, fixing an additional 15 mg N per mg urea-N absorbed.
