Effect of P deficiency on growth and N2-fixation in white clover

There is a need to maintain N2-fixation in legumes in grasslands with spatial and temporal fluctuations in the P supply. H�gh-Jensen et al. (pp. 745-753) examine the consequences of varying P supply on white clover on a whole plant level and conclude that N2-fixation does not limit the growth of clover plants experiencing P deficiency.
