Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Inoculation, P and Zn fertilization, alone and in interaction, significantly affected root distribution and mass of nodules in faba bean.
- Intervention effect Inoculation, P and Zn fertilization, alone and in interaction, significantly affected N, P and Zn concentrations in nodule, root and leaf tissues of faba bean at 50% flowering.
- Intervention effect Inoculation significantly affected root fresh weight of faba bean at maturity.
- Intervention effect P and Zn fertilization improved grain yield, pods per plant and grains per pod of faba bean.
- Intervention effect P and Zn fertilization improved the number of branches of faba bean.
- Intervention effect P and Zn fertilization improved the grain uptake of N, P and Zn of faba bean.
- Intervention effect Combined inoculation, P and Zn fertilization increased faba bean grain yield on average by 1.3 Mg ha-1.
- Intervention effect P and Zn fertilization alone increased faba bean grain P uptake by 1.1 kg ha-1.
- Intervention effect P and Zn fertilization alone increased faba bean grain Zn uptake by 2.7 × 10-2 kg ha-1.
- Intervention effect Combined inoculation, P and Zn improved the N uptake of faba bean grains on average by 40 kg ha-1.
- Recommendation The authors recommend inoculating faba bean with efficient, compatible rhizobium and fertilizing it with P and Zn on P- and Zn-deficient soils, especially alkaline calcareous soils.
