- Intervention effect Unfertilized legumes produced similar grain, biomass and nitrogen to legumes at 80–120 kg ha −1 mineral N.
- Intervention effect Above 80–120 kg ha −1 N, chickpea production decreased.
- Intervention effect Above 80–120 kg ha −1 N, pea production decreased.
- Intervention effect Above 80–120 kg ha −1 N, white lupin production decreased.
- Association Nitrogen fixed was positively related to nodule biomass in field bean.
- Association Nitrogen fixed was positively related to nodule biomass in pea.
- Association Nitrogen fixed was positively related to nodule biomass in white lupin.
- Association Nodule biomass was inversely related to nitrogen fertilizer rate across the four legumes.
- Association Nitrogen from fixation declined linearly with increasing N in white lupin.
- Association Nitrogen from fixation declined linearly with increasing N in chickpea.
- Association Nodule fixation activity increased with nitrogen supply in field bean.
- Association Nodule fixation activity increased with nitrogen supply in pea.
- Mechanism Reduced nodule biomass accounted for decreased fixation in field bean.
- Mechanism Reduced nodule biomass accounted for decreased fixation in pea.
- Mechanism Reduced nodulation and fixation per nodule mass explained lower nitrogen fixation in white lupin.
- Mechanism Reduced nodulation and fixation per nodule mass explained lower nitrogen fixation in chickpea.
