Figure 2. Mean instantaneous per capita rates of shoot biomass production (a, b), N (c, d) and P production (e, f) by wheat (a, c, e) and faba bean plants (b, d, f) derived as the slopes of the logistic models fitted to cumulative data, derived using mean values of the rate constant, r (Table 1).

Statistical analysis of maximum instantaneous rates and their timings are presented in Table 2. NM-SW, uninoculated sole wheat; NM-MW, uninoculated wheat mixed with faba bean; Fm-SW, inoculated sole wheat; Fm-MW, inoculated wheat mixed with faba bean. Similar symbols are also used for faba bean plants.
