Abstract

Rhizobium-inoculatcd plants of Phaseolus vulgaris L. were grown with different N-sources (nitrate, ammonium, urea) and different concentrations of urea. The distribution of growth between plant parts varied with N-sources. Nitrate and ammonium were more inhibitory to nodulation than urea, which at 40 mol m−3 N had no effect. Urease activity varied in amount and location over a range of urea concentrations. At higher concentrations, more urea was transported to and increased urease activity was found in the shoot Lower levels of activity in plants reliant on N2-fixation were consistent with a ureide-degradation pathway not involving urea. Moderate doses of urea could be assimilated concomitantly with N2-fixation. At higher levels of applied urea, nodulation and ureide transport to the shoots were reduced, although increased growth could not be maintained at concentrations of applied urea greater than 6.0 mol m−3 urea N.
