Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus application had a non-significant effect on percent nitrogen derived from atmosphere in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Sulfur application had a significant effect on percent nitrogen derived from atmosphere in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus application increased nitrogen fixation in chickpea by up to 38% over control.
- Intervention effect Sulfur application increased nitrogen fixation in chickpea by up to 33% over control.
- Association Nutrient uptake in chickpea correlated positively with nitrogen fixation.
- Mechanism The authors assert direct involvement of sulfur in the process of nitrogen fixation.
- Mechanism The authors assert that the effect of phosphorus on nitrogen fixation is indirect, mainly through enhanced growth and dry matter production.
