Table 4.

N transfer and proportion of N fixed by soybean as affected by inoculation in a growth chamber labeling experiment

+A-R +A+R
% Ndfa 58.4 ± 6.8
Ndfa (mg plant-1) 13.4 ± 3.4
% Ntransfer 11.4 ± 1.0a 9.4 ± 1.9a
N transferred (mg plant-1) 1.3 ± 0.1a 2.0 ± 0.2b
% NDFT 11.1 ± 0.8a 15.2 ± 1.2b

Data in the table are the mean of three replicates with standard error. Different letters indicate significant differences between inoculation treatments (LSD test, P < 0.05). % Ndfa: percent N derived from the atmosphere fixed by soybean; % Ntransfer: percentage N transferred from soybean to maize; N transferred: amount of N transferred from soybean to maize; % NDFT, percentage N in maize derived from transfer.
