It is both amusing and instructive that Fred and Graul began their 1916 paper with the
following words:" It has been known for a long time that the presence of certain salts in the …

Symbiotic nitrogen (N2) fixation in legumes may give the host plant a distinct competitive
advantage; at the same time it is mainly responsible for introducing N into terrestrial …

To investigate salt stress and biochar application effects on nodulation and nitrogen
metabolism of soybeans (Glycine max cv. M7), an experiment was conducted under the …

This chapter discusses the nutrient-related limitations in chickpea productivity, with
emphasis on the effects of different macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S) and micronutrients …

Supply of cadmium chloride (0.5 mM) inhibited chlorophyll formation in greening maize leaf
segments, while lower concentration of Cd (0.01 mM) slightly enhanced it. Inclusion of 2 …

Nodulation behaviour and nitrogenase activity were studied in relation to nitrogen treatment
(ie 0, 40, 80, 100 kg N ha-1) and seasonal variations in Pongamia pinnata seedlings. A …

Five inbred lines and a commercial cultivar of field-bean (Vicia faba) were inoculated with a
strain of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae and grown, with or without nitrate, under …

Soil salinity with different harmful effects on plant growth and productivity is one of the main
reasons in diminishing biological nitrogen fixation and nitrogen assimilation in legume …

Twenty-nine genotypes of Vicia faba were grown in the presence or absence of NO 3− to
study variability in root and nodule nitrate reductase (NR, EC 1.6. 6.1) and nodule cytosolic …

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen application at 15, 30 and 45
kg ha− 1 of urea at pre-flowering (PF) and pod initiation (PI) stages on the activity of …
