    Notes: Abstract It was observed in a long-term fertility study that P application results in better nodulation and seed yield. The N yield per plant increased significantly with P, K, and B application, but the promoting effect of K and B on N content per plant was not reflected in the final yield. Data on mean nutrient uptake indicate that about 63% of N, 68% of P, 23% of K, 4% of Ca and 24% of Mg were present in the kernels, the remainder being in the haulm and shells. Soil will be exhausted fast if the nutrient rich groundnut residues are completely exported from the field and not compensated by adequate fertilizer application. Judicious use of fertilizers on groundnut has been shown to yield more than 100 kg of biologically fixed N per hectare.

    Notes: Summary Studies under growth cabinet conditions investigated the effect of source and concentration of nitrogen and timing of nitrogen application on the growth and nitrogen fixation byLotus pedunculatus cv. Maku andTrifolium repens cv. S184. KNO3, NaNO3 and NH4NO3 were added at transplanting at the following rates: 3.33, 7.78 and 13.33 mg N/plant. KNO3 was added at 3.33 and 7.78 mg N/plant at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 or 30 days after transplanting. Lotus shoot weight increased with all increasing nitrogen sources but clover only responded to KNO3 and NaNO3. The root weight of both species increased with increasing KNO3 and NH4NO3. The percentage increase in lotus and clover shoot growth was greater than that of root growth when KNO3 was added within a week of transplanting. Increases in growth by both species resulted from added nitrogen except with lotus when NaNO3 was applied where increased nitrogen fixation also contributed to increased growth. Weight and number of effective nodules on both species were increased with 3.33 mg N per plant as KNO3 but nitrogen fixation was not affected. Addition of 13.33 mg N as NaNO3 reduced weight and number of effective nodules in both species and also nitrogen fixation by lotus. KNO3 increased growth and nodulation of both species when applied within one week after transplanting. Nodulated lotus plants responded to KNO3 by increasing growth but not nodulation. KNO3 appeared to affect infection and development of nodules on lotus and may affect the growth of existing nodules on clover.

    Notes: Abstract Twenty five species of tree legumes, belonging to genera Acacia, Albizzia, Bauhinia, Colophospermum, Dichrostachys, Leucaena, Peltophorum, Pithecolobium and Prosopis were examined for nodulation under pot culture conditions using unsterilized soil. Out of these, only nineteen tree-legumes nodulated. It was interesting to note that all the three species of Bauhinia and one each of Acacia, Colophospermum and Peltophorum did not nodulate both at Jodhpur and Delhi. Inoculation of tree legumes with their own rhizobial isolates, improved nodulation under sterilized conditions.

    Notes: Summary The differential response of six cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) cultivars to liming was assessed in a greenhouse trial using an Ultisol (Typic Paleudult) from southeastern Nigeria. Lime rates from 0 to 5.0 t/ha were applied to give a range of soil pH, determined in 1∶1 soil/water from 4.25 to about 7.0. Without liming, relative dry matter yields of tops ranged between 46.6 and 76.8 percent. Significant yield responses to the first lime increment (0.5 t/ha) were observed particularly in the less tolerant cultivars and maximum yields were generally obtained with application of 1.6 to 2.5 t/ha lime. Among the six cultivars, TVu 4557 and Ife Brown were most tolerant, Vita-1 and Vita-3 were moderately tolerant, and TVu 1977-OD and TVu 4552 were least tolerant to soil acidity. The latter two cultivars were the most poorly nodulated when grown in the unlimed soil. The first lime increment enabled excellent nodulation to be achieved in all cultivars. Nitrogen analyses on tops confirmed the visual symptoms of nitrogen deficiency in two cultivars (Vita-1, TVu 1977-OD) grown in the unlimed soil. Analysis of data on chemical composition of plant tops and chemical soil characteristics gave indications that aluminium toxicity is the major growth limiting factor for cowpeas in this soil. This study, albeit with a limited range of cowpea germplasm clearly indicates that cowpea possesses considerable potential as a grain legume on strongly acid soils (pH〈5.0), even in circumstances where lime is not available. Low rates of lime (0.5 t/ha or less) will greatly expand the available choice of cultivars.

    Notes: Summary The nodulatingRhizobium trifolii strain 24 and its non-nodulating mutant 24 nod−3 have been examined. The exopolysaccharides of both cultures studied contained mannose, galactose and glucose at similar molar ratios. On the other hand some quantitative differences have been found between the lipopolysaccharides in respect of the composition of neutral sugars. Glucose and rhamnose were the main constituents of the nodulating strain 24, whereas rhamnose and galactose in non-nodulating mutant 24 nod−3 deprived of the plasmid pWZ2.

    Notes: Summary Alfalfa plants,Medicago sativa L., were selected from the Florida 66 cultivar for vigor in an acid (pH 4.4, Al≥.4 meq/100 g) and a limed, fertilized (pH 6.5, Al=0 meq/100 g, P and K added) Cecil topsoil. The selected plants were intermated by selection condition to achieve two germplasms, acid selected (A-1) and limed, fertile selected (L-1). ARhizobium meliloti strain (79-4s) was isolated from a high acetylene reducing nodule from a plant in a similar acid soil. The germplasms and the Rhizobium strain were then tested in greenhouse pots for agronomic performance under a variety of soil pH and fertility conditions. The 79-4s inoculum, as well as commercially prepared inoculum, gave better plant yield and acetylene reduction (N2-fixation) at all harvests when compared to a sterile peat control, but the commercial inoculum was the best inoculum treatment. The A-1 germplasm produced higher shoot dry weight at the final harvest than did the L-1 germplasm at all soil pH’s when P and K were applied at the highest rates. The A-1 germplasm also had better root weight (mainly fibrous roots) and acetylene reduction in these soil conditions. The two germplasms appear to be genetically distinct and respond differently depending on soil pH and fertility conditions.

    Notes: Summary Effects of increasing rates of lime (0, 900, 1725, and 3000 kg Ca(OH)2/ha producing soil pH of 4.0, 4.7, 5.1 and 5.6) and P (50, 150, 250 and 350 kg P/ha) on top and root yield, root morphology and chemical composition of lotus (Lotus pedunculatus Cav.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.), were studied, using an acid soil in a greenhouse experiment. Increasing rates of applied lime and phosphate resulted in substantial increases in top yields of both species but concomitant increases in root yield were small. In the unlimed soil, lotus out-yielded (tops and roots) white clover at all P levels. However, in the three limed treatments, white clover clearly out-yielded lotus. Yield response curves to applied P levelled off at the two highest lime rates for lotus but not for white clover. Nodulation and N content of white clover increased significantly with increasing lime applications, but for lotus there was a significant decrease in nodulation at the highest lime rate. Increased P rates had a small stimulatory effect on nodulation in both species. Of the total root weight, the percentage contribution of the tap and primary lateral root fractions was smaller and that of the secondary plus tertiary lateral roots was greater for lotus than for white clover although root length per unit weight tended to be larger for white clover at the two highest lime rates. Furthermore, lotus possessed longer and more numerous root hairs than white clover. Lime applications significantly decreased the percentage contribution of the tap and primary lateral roots to the total root weight and increased the percentage contribution of the secondary plus tertiary lateral roots. Al and Mn contents of tops and roots of both species decreased with increasing lime rates. There was a highly significant negative correlation between relative yield and Al content of lotus and white clover tops. In comparison with the limed treatments, in the unlimed treatments a greater percentage of total P, Al, Mn and N content accumulated in the roots of both species. In addition, lotus accumulated a much greater percentage Al in its roots than white clover.

    Notes: Summary Azotobacter vinelandii strains caused the formation of increased numbers of root nodules onGlycine max, Vigna unguiculata andTrifolium repens by their respective rhizobial symbionts. Increased nodulation due to inoculation withA. vinelandii also occurred in field grownG. max. Mutant strains ofA. vinelandii unable to fix nitrogen caused nodulation increases comparable to those caused by nitrogen-fixing strains. This indicates that nitrogen fixation byA. vinelandii was not responsible for the enhanced nodulation. The effect ofA. vinelandii on nodulation was greatest when cells from the mid-exponential phase of growth were applied as inoculants. Non viable cell preparations ofAzotobacter vinelandii were also found to cause an increase in the number of root nodules formed onGlycine max Rhizobium japonicum under greenhouse conditions. The nodulation enhancement activity was influenced by the method chosen to kill theA. vinelandii cells. Heat treatment and treatment with lethal levels of streptomycin destroyed the activity, whereas the activity was unaffected by ultraviolet-light treatment of the cells. Cell-free extracts ofA. vinelandii were found to enhance nodulation. On the other hand, culture supernatants ofA. vinelandii had no effect on nodulation. A split-root experiment suggested that the agent(s) responsible for the increased nodulation was not translocatable throughout the plant. The results suggest a non-excretable protein, produced byA. vinelandii, as a possible mechanism for nodulation enhancement.

    Notes: Conclusions Mycorrhizal fungi increase the rate of phosphate uptake by roots (P inflow) over a range of soil P levels even when mycorrhizal growth increases no longer occur. It is likely that the fungi play a direct part in uptake and translocation of P to the roots. V.A.M. effects on nodulation and N2 fixation are largely indirect, probably resulting from improved P nutrition and growth at low soil P levels. Work on inorganic cation nutrition is much less advanced, but it is already clear that there are interactions between P nutrition and cation uptake which may also be indirect. The pattern of N assimilation (N2 fixation vis-à-vis NaNO3 or (NH4)2SO4 uptake) may modify cation/P interactions. Further work is required to distinguish cause and effect and to clarify the role played by V.A.M. fungi.

    Notes: Summary To explain the decline of Hippophaë scrub in the vegetation succession in the dunes of The Netherlands, the growth and nodulation of Hippophaë plants grown in pots, using soil from an early stage (site AH) and a post-optimum stage (site HP), were investigated. In HP-soil nodulation, yield, and the nitrogen and phosphorus content of test plants were always lower and the number of necrotic nodules and the dry matter content were always higher than in AH-soil, even after inoculation with crushed nodules and the addition of a nutrient solution. Plants in HP-soil also had darker roots, less root hairs, a higher number of short lateral roots and a higher percentage of dead roots than those in AH-soil. These characteristics of adverse growth conditions disappeared upon ignition or gamma-irradiation of HP-soil. Possible explanations of these results are discussed. The degeneration of Hippophaë scrub cannot be ascribed to the age of the plants, the absence of sufficient infective endophyte particles or to abiotic factors such as unfavourable physical (particle size) or chemical soil conditions but is caused by biotic factors. No indications were obtained that plant-pathogenic fungi and bacteria are involved. HP-soil in contrast to AH-soil, however, contained large numbers of the nematodeLongidorus sp., a species known to cause root deformations. The conclusion was that this nematode is one of the biotic factors involved in the degeneration of the Hippophaë scrub. This degeneration is due to a restriction of the root system resulting in a low phosphate uptake, a low nodulation capacity and, as a consequence, a low nitrogen content. The results demonstrate that biotic soil factors are important in influencing succession in higher plant communities.
