Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Shoot total nitrogen rose significantly as the proportion of nodules formed by effective CC709 rose.
- Association Shoot total nitrogen rose significantly as the number of CC709 nodules rose.
- Association Shoot nitrogen was highly correlated with nitrogenase activity.
- Association Shoot nitrogen was highly correlated with nodule mass.
- Association The relation between percent effective nodules and shoot nitrogen was nonlinear.
- Observation Soybean obtained 95% of maximum nitrogen accumulation when only 75% of nodules were effective.
- Association Effective nodules averaged at least 2.5 times the size of ineffective nodules.
- Association Effective nodule weight increased from 2.38 to 4.88 mg per nodule as effective nodule proportion fell.
- Association The effective fraction of total nodule tissue exceeded the percentage of effective nodules.
- Association Nitrogen fixation was adversely affected only when ineffective-strain infection reduced total nodule mass.
