- Intervention effect The treatments had no significant effect on cowpea leaf and root N or P content.
- Intervention effect VAM fungus significantly increased cowpea shoot dry weight.
- Intervention effect Cowpea root dry weight and nodule activity increased significantly only on the VAM side.
- Observation Rhizobium strain TAL 173 occurred in 95% of cowpea nodules.
- Intervention effect VAM fungus did not alter rhizobial competition for cowpea nodulation sites.
- Intervention effect P application did not alter rhizobial competition for cowpea nodulation sites.
