We studied the effect of three successive cuttings on N uptake and fixation and N distribution in Leucaena leucocephala. Two isolines, uninoculated or inoculated with three different Rhizobium strains, were grown for 36 weeks and cut every 12 weeks. The soil was labelled with 50 ppm KNO 3 enriche...

Effect of successive cuttings on uptake and partitioning of 15N among plant parts of Leucaena leucocephala
We examined the suitability of four reference crops, i.e., two non-fixing trees,Cassia siamea andEucalyptus grandis, and two uninoculated fixing trees,Leucaena leucocephala andAcacia albida, for measuring fixed N2 fixed in inoculatedL. leucocephala andA. albida grown for 36 weeks in pots. The15N ...

Influence of reference trees on N2fixation estimates in Leucaena leucocephala and Acacia albicia using 15N_ labelling techniques+A51
Nitrogen fixed in 13 provenances of Acacia albida and 11 isolines of Leucaena leucocephala inoculated with effective Rhizobium strains was measured by 15N techniques and the total N difference method. In the test soil, on the average, L. leucocephala derived about 65% of its total N from atmosphe...

Assessment of genetic variability for N2 fixation between and with provenance of Leucaena leucocephala and Acacia albida estimated by 15N labelling techniques
Differences in the nitrogen-fixing abilities of provenances of Casuarina equisetifolia and C. cunninghamiana were assessed in pot experiments. Three methods, the 15N isotope dilution, the A value and total N difference were used to measure N2 fixed. There was a good agreement between the A value ...

Twenty-three provenances of Gliricidia sepium and eleven isolines of Leucaena leucocephala were examined at a low and at high phosphate levels (20 and 80 mg P kg-1 soil) for growth, phosphate (P) uptake and use efficiency. Large differences in growth at the low P level, and in growth response to ...
