Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Soybean averaged 1.2 t ha−1 grain yield.
- Observation Soybean above-ground biomass at mid pod filling averaged 2.8 t ha−1.
- Observation Soybean biomass contained 63 kg ha−1 nitrogen derived from the atmosphere.
- Association Locally sourced soybean varieties had greater atmospheric nitrogen percentage than Nasoko, 65% versus 53%.
- Association Soybean %Ndfa was positively associated with soil sand content, sowing date, plant population and biomass accumulation.
- Intervention effect inoculation with rhizobia did not affect soybean %Ndfa.
- Intervention effect the combination of inoculation and NPK fertiliser application did not affect soybean %Ndfa.
- Association Soybean N2 fixation differed between regions and years.
- Intervention effect Combined inoculant and fertilizer enhanced soybean N2 fixation.
- Intervention effect Combined inoculant and fertilizer increased soybean grain yields.
- Association Soil available P and exchangeable K contents were positively associated with total soybean N2 fixation.
- Intervention effect Maize after soybean yielded 3.5 t ha−1 versus 2.5 t ha−1 under continuous maize.
- Association Higher maize yields, external nutrient inputs and greater household assets were associated with greater maize yield responses to soybean rotation.
- Observation Yield increases above 10% occurred on 59% of fields in Dowa.
- Observation Yield increases above 10% occurred on 90% of fields in Mchinji.
- Observation Yield increases above 10% occurred on 77%% of fields in Salima.
- Recommendation The authors recommend promoting soybean-maize rotations together with suitable soil and crop management.
