Title
Nitrogen Fixation by Corn‐Azospirillum Associations in a Temperate Climate1
S. L. Albrecht; Y. Okon; J. Lonnquist; et al. Crop Science 1981. doi:10.2135/cropsci1981.0011183x002100020024x
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Artificial inoculation produced nitrogenase activity without plant benefit.
- Intervention effect Greenhouse inoculation slightly increased maize plant nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Greenhouse inoculation slightly increased maize dry weight.
- Intervention effect In two field experiments inoculation increased plant weight.
- Intervention effect In two field experiments inoculation increased plant percent nitrogen, corresponding to 14 and 15 kg N/ha.
- Intervention effect Azospirillum inoculation had no consistent benefit for plant nitrogen content.
- Recommendation Authors recommend more understanding of root-rhizosphere fixing interactions before developing a consistent beneficial association.
