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 ...

Genetic variability in symbiotic nitrogen fixation within and between provenances of two Casuarina species using the 15Nlabelling methods
Appropriate 15N-labeling methods are crucial for estimating N2-fixation in trees used in agroforestry systems. A 4-year field experiment was conducted on an Alfisol in Southwestern Nigeria to compare the estimates of Na fixed in Leucaena leucocephala, using two non-N2-fixing leguminous trees, Sen...
