Crescimento e acumulação de nitrogênio de plantas de feijoeiro originadas de sementes com alto teor de molibdênio
Conteúdo de molibdênio das sementes de feijoeiro em resposta a doses do micronutriente pulverizado sobre as plantas
Genotypic variability in seed accumulation of foliar-applied molybdenum to common bean
Seeds with high molybdenum concentration improved growth and nitrogen acquisition of rhizobium-inoculated and nitrogen-fertilized common bean plants
Aplicação foliar de molibdênio, produtividade e qualidade fisiológica de sementes de feijoeiro irrigado
Seeds enriched with phosphorus and molybdenum improve the contribution of biological nitrogen fixation to common bean as estimated by 15n isotope dilution
Environmental constraints to nodulation and nitrogen fixation of Phaseolus vulgaris l. in Tanzania. II. Response to N and P fertilizers and inoculation with Rhizobium
Addition of P fertilizer (26 kg P ha-1) was shown to increase
dramatically the number of root nodules and seed yields of Phaseolus
vulgaris in experiments on farmers' fields in the West Usambara
Mountains in northern Tanzania. Both nodulation and seed yields varied
enormously between the different sites even where fertilizers were
applied. Nitrogen fixation was measured in two of these experiments
using the 15N isotope dilution method with a non-nodulating variety of
P. vulgaris as a non-fixing reference plant. Without addition of P
fertilizer the amount of N2 fixed was only 2-8 kg N ha-1 (25-27 %N
derived from N2-fixation) and this was increased to 8-16 kg N ha-1
(48-51 %N derived from N2-fixation) with addition of 26 kg P ha-1.
Inoculation with Rhizobium together with P addition increased
nodulation and N2-fixation marginally above that with P alone but did
not increase seed yields. Seed yields were only marginally improved by
addition of P or N fertilizers at two sites in the Kilimanjaro/Meru
region of northern Tanzania. At one of these sites (Kilacha)
inoculation with P more than trebled the number of nodules but only
marginally increased total N accumulation. Across all sites, addition
of N fertilizer (45 kg N ha-1) increased yields slightly above those
found with P alone. The need for further assessments of nodulation and
N2-fixation under soil fertility conditions prevailing on farmers'
fields is emphasised.L'addition de la fertilisation de P (26 kg P ha-1) a beaucoup
augment\ue9 le nombre de nodules racinaires ainsi que le rendement en
graines de Phaseolus vulgaris en champs des fermiers dans la
r\ue9gion montagneuse ouest d'Usambar au nord de la Tanzanie. La
nodulation et le rendement en graines variaient amplement entre les
diff\ue9rents sites trait\ue9s \ue0 la fertilisation. La fixation
de l'azote atmosph\ue9rique \ue9tait mesur\ue9e dans deux de ces
essais par la m\ue9thode de dilution de l'isotope 15N avec une
vari\ue9t\ue9 non nodulante de P. vulgaris servant de t\ue9moin
non fixateur. En l'absence de la fertilisation, seulement 2 \ue0 8 kg
N ha-1 soient 25-27%, d\ue9rivaient de la fixation de N
atmosph\ue9rique tandis qu'avec l'addition de 26 kg P ha-1, la
fixation azot\ue9e \ue9tait \ue9lev\ue9e \ue0 8-16 kg ha-1
soient 48-51%. La combinaison de Rhizobium avec le fertilisant P a
l\ue9g\ue8rement augment\ue9 la nodulation ainsi que la fixation
de N par rapport au traitement de fertlisant P mais sans toutefois
augmenter le rendement en graines. Le rendement en graines \ue9tait
l\ue9g\ue8rement am\ue9lior\ue9 par l'addition de P et de N
dans les deux sites au sein de la r\ue9gion de Kilimanjaro/Meru au
nord de la Tanzanie. Dans l'une de ces deux sites (Kilacha), le
traitement au P a plus que trippl\ue9 le nombre de nodules tandis que
la quantit\ue9 d'azote total s'est l\ue9g\ue8rement
augment\ue9e par rapport au seul traitement de P. Le besoin de
poursuivre ce genre de travail en vue d'examiner la nodulation et la
fixation de N dans les conditions de sol qui pr\ue9valent en plein
champ des fermiers est soulign\ue9
