Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal Medicago sativa plants showed more extensive nodulation than non-mycorrhizal plants.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal Medicago sativa plants had higher nitrogenase activity than non-mycorrhizal plants from 2 weeks onwards.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal Medicago sativa plants had higher nitrogen content at the 12-week harvest.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal Medicago sativa plants had greater phosphate content than non-mycorrhizal plants at 7 weeks.
- Association Total nitrogen and total phosphorus per mycorrhizal Medicago sativa plant were higher.
- Intervention effect Nitrogenase activity and phosphate content on a dry weight basis did not differ between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal Medicago sativa plants.
- Observation Mycorrhizal enhancement of phosphate uptake and nitrogen fixation precedes any effect on growth, according to the authors.
