- Observation Source–sink relationships were similar across growth media.
- Observation Shoot phenotype and physiology did not reveal the belowground responses.
- Intervention effect Mineral N produced more abundant soybean nodules with low fixation activity.
- Intervention effect Mineral N yielded low symbiotic nitrogen fixation activity.
- Intervention effect Sand medium produced more abundant nodules.
- Intervention effect Sand medium yielded low symbiotic nitrogen fixation activity.
- Intervention effect Vermiculite of either particle size yielded nodules with high fixation activity.
