Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Increasing calcium carbonate markedly increased nodulation of Medicago truncatula cv. Cyprus on moderately acid soil.
- Intervention effect Calcium carbonate increased soil pH.
- Mechanism Rhizobium meliloti survival or multiplication in acid soil was inferred to restrict nodulation.
- Association R. meliloti growth appeared more sensitive to soil acidity than annual Medicago growth.
- Recommendation The authors suggested more acid-tolerant R. meliloti strains to enable annual Medicago cultivation on moderately acid soils.
