- Intervention effect Bradyrhizobium inoculation had no effect on cowpea nodulation compared with non-inoculated plants.
- Intervention effect Bradyrhizobium inoculation had no effect on soil C and N pools under cowpea compared with non-inoculated plants.
- Association Plant growth initially enhanced mineral N losses from the rhizosphere at the flowering stage.
- Association After ripening, N and organic C contents of the soil re-increased.
- Observation The inoculant strain was more competitive in establishing itself in root nodules, depending on local conditions.
- Association Water stress was the main limitation for nodulation of cowpea.
- Mechanism Temporally enhanced rhizodeposition after ripening could maintain soil C and N pools after cowpea cultivation.
