Fixation of N215 by Excised Nodules.

Abstract

The excised nodules from legumes representing 8 cross inoculation groups have been shown to fix N215. Lincoln soybean nodules gave the highest rate of fixation. Nodules from the following plants also were active: cowpea, Alaska pea, Canada field pea, sweet pea, bean, white lupine, red clover, alfalfa and sesbania.
