e0“Under field conditions, trends were similar to the second experiment for nodulation, nodule occupancy and nitrogen uptake resulting in significantly greater grain yields (475, 709, 856, 880, 966 kg ha−1) after application of vermicompost at 0, 37, 74, 111, and 148 kg N ha−1 respectively”

- Association In the first greenhouse trial, soybean response to rhizobia inoculation was significantly affected by soil fertility, judged by nodule fresh weight and shoot biomass.
- Association Soils with low nitrogen gave low to no response of soybean to inoculation.
- Intervention effect After amendment, nodule fresh weight, nodule effectiveness and nodule occupancy of soybean were greater with vermicompost than with urea.
- Intervention effect After amendment, soybean shoot dry biomass was greater with vermicompost than with urea.
- Observation In the field, trends for nodulation, nodule occupancy and nitrogen uptake were similar to those of the second greenhouse experiment.
- Intervention effect The authors conclude that soybean nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation in low fertility soils would not be suppressed by organic amendments such as vermicompost up to 148 kg N ha−1.
