Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Pod removal significantly reduced nitrogen fixation.
- Intervention effect Stem girdling significantly reduced nitrogen fixation.
- Intervention effect Defoliation reduced sugar concentration in soybean roots and nodules.
- Intervention effect Stem girdling reduced sugar concentration in soybean roots and nodules.
- Intervention effect Stem girdling promoted sustained total nitrogen and ureide exudation.
- Intervention effect Pod removal did not affect root and nodule sugar concentration.
- Intervention effect Pod removal did not promote release of nitrogenous compounds.
- Mechanism Low nitrogen fixation and low root and nodule sugar may not alone explain nitrogen exudation.
