Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Sulfur-free growth significantly inhibited soybean growth, nitrogen fixation and yield.
- Intervention effect Sulfur-free growth significantly inhibited root morphology-related parameters and root nodule growth.
- Intervention effect Low sulfur (0.15–0.60 mM) with Rhizobium inoculation stimulated early-stage (V9) root growth in soybean.
- Intervention effect Low sulfur with Rhizobium inoculation increased shoot nitrogen accumulation in soybean.
- Intervention effect Low sulfur inhibited soybean root growth at the R5 stage after Rhizobium inoculation.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation enhanced soybean growth, nitrogen fixation and yield, especially at 0.15–0.30 mM sulfur.
- Intervention effect Nodule nitrogenase activity at the R5 stage was highest at 0.3 mM sulfur with Rhizobium inoculation, 9.51–1222.07% higher than other treatments.
- Intervention effect Yield was highest at 0.3 mM sulfur with Rhizobium inoculation, 9.51–1222.07% higher than other treatments.
- Intervention effect Severe inhibition of Rhizobium USDA110 growth occurred without sulfur.
