Description
The use of inorganic nitrogen (N) usually increases the legume yield (Pettiet, 1971) and inhibits nodulation and nitrogen-fixation (Dart, 1974). In the tropics, the application of inorganic fertilizer may not always increase the dry matter yield of legumes. Informations on the extent to which the nitrogenfixation is affected are also very few. Present studies were carried out to determine the effect of N on dry matter yield and nitrogen-fixation of four Stylosanthes spp. in a tropical soil.
