“…suggested that aluminium tolerance of grasses may be used for the selection of plant genotypes with a high affinity to rhizosphere nitrogenase activity. In a previous experiment with sorghum cultivars of different resistance against free aluminium we also observed that aluminium-tolerant cultivars had significantly higher associative N 2 fixation rates than an aluminium-sensitive cultivar (Christiansen-Weniger et al, 1985). …”

“…Inoculation experiments show widespread results, from no or even a negative effect (Owens, 1977;Schank et al, 1980) to a plant nitrogen increase of more than 120% (Cohen et al, 1980;Kapulnik et al, 1981a). Significant differences in response to Azospirillum inoculation are reported even between cultivars of the same plant species (Christiansen-Weniger et al, 1985;Wani et al, 1984).…”

“…which are transferred to their host plants appear to be small (3,21,29). Investigations in which the 15N isotope dilution technique was used indicated that most of the fixed nitrogen remained below ground, probably still bound to bacterial cells, and contributed only very little to the upper plant parts (7,34,38). In experiments performed with wheat plants that were monoxenically associated with Azospirillum brasilense, only 1 to 2% of the shoot nitrogen originated from atmospheric sources (6a).…”
