A major strategy towards addressing soil fertility depletion is the conservation and sustainable use of rhizobia that are able to fix nitrogen in the soil in association with legumes. The study assessed abundance and diversity of legume nodulating rhizobia (LNB) in soils collected from six differ...

Despite the widespread use of Leucaena leucocephala in alley cropping systems, little information is available on the effect of different magagement practices on its nitrogen fixation. We studied the effects of three successive cuttings at 12 week intervals on nodulation and nitrogen fixation of ...

Effect of successive cuttings on nodulation and nitrogen fixation of Leucaena leucocephala using 15N dilution and the difference methods
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 ...

Phenotypic characteristics and preliminary symbiotic effectiveness of rhizobia associated with haricot bean growing in diverse locations of southern Ethiopia
A report is presented on N fertilization and fixation in bean crops. The selection of N sources, the time of application and the amount applied guarantees a higher utilization of N by the plant. When the total amount of N required is applied prior to planting, the plant only uses 26 percent of th...

The introduction of desirable agronomic characteristics into Phaseolus vulgaris L. is being attempted by interspecific hybridization with P. coccineus, but the effects on root nodulation are unknown. Accordingly, cross-inoculation relationships between P. vulgaris ‘Red Kidney’ and P. coccineus ‘S...
