“…Nevertheless, ranges of biologically fixed N 2 in fieldgrown bean lines were reported as from 25 to 65 kg ha -1 (Ruschel et al, 1982) or 40 to 125 kg ha -1 (Rennie & Kemp, 1983) in shoots at physiological maturity, or from 21 to 44 kg ha -1 in grains (Pereira et al, 1989). Additionally, field experiments in seven countries showed that the N 2 fixation contributed with 35 % of the N accumulated by bean crops, with the highest figures at 70 % (Hardarson et al, 1993). Yet, using the 15 N natural abundance method, Kimura et al (2004) estimated contributions of N 2 fixation ranging from 24 to 50 % in field-grown bean at different growth stages.…”

SUMMARYSeeds with a high concentration of P or Mo can improve the growth and N accumulation of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), but the effect of enriched seeds on biological N 2 fixation has not been established yet. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of seeds enriched with P and Mo on growth and biological N 2 fixation of the common bean by the 15 N isotope dilution technique. An experiment was carried out in pots in a 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 factorial design in randomized blocks with four replications, comprising two levels of soil applied P (0 and 80 mg kg -1 ), three N sources (without N, inoculated with rhizobia, and mineral N), two seed P concentrations (low and high), and two seed Mo concentrations (low and high). Non-nodulating bean and sorghum were used as non-fixing crops. The substrate was 5.0 kg of a Red Latosol (Oxisol) previously enriched with 15 N and mixed with 5.0 kg of sand. Plants were harvested 41 days after emergence. Seeds with high P concentration increased the growth and N in shoots, particularly in inoculated plants at lower applied P levels. Inoculated plants raised from high P seeds showed improved nodulation at both soil P levels. Higher soil P levels increased the percentage of N derived from the atmosphere (%Ndfa) in bean leaves. Inoculation with the selected strains increased the %Ndfa. High seed P increased the %Ndfa in inoculated plants at lower soil P levels. High seed Mo increased the %Ndfa at lower soil P levels in plants that did not receive inoculation or mineral N. It is concluded that high seed P concentration increases the growth, N accumulation RESUMO: SEMENTES ENRIQUECIDAS COM FÓSFORO E MOLIBDÊNIO

“…Although beans are generally considered to be poor N fixers due to poor soil conditions, the ineffective native soil rhizobia, and the selection of early flowering cultivars for a short growth season (Hardarson et al, 1993;Graham and Ranalli, 1997), inoculation with an appropriate Rhizobium spp. has been shown to increase grain yields in East Africa .…”

“…has been shown to increase grain yields in East Africa . High levels of N fixation have been documented when the crop is not limited by other constraints Hardarson et al, 1993), and for that reason it is very important to address low soil pH with lime. Lime is used to increase the CEC of a soil, to neutralize Al, and to increase the supply of minerals (Ca, K, and Mg) that positively influence N-fixation by rhizobia .…”

“…can increase grain yields in East Africa ). High levels of N fixation have been documented when the crop is not limited by other constraints Hardarson et al, 1993), and for that reason it is very important to address low soil P to prevent severely reducing symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) or limiting root expansion (Graham and Ranalli, 1997;. Adequate K is required for improved tolerance to drought stress, protection against biotic stresses, optimal growth and productivity (Oosterhuis et al, 2014), and as cropping intensifies and higher amounts of K are exported from the field (Mengel and Kirkby, 1980).…”

Estimating agronomically relevant symbiotic nitrogen fixation in green manure breeding programs

Widespread use of legume green manures is limited by a lack of reliable varieties that meet the needs of farmers. Improving symbiotic N fixation (SNF) in open‐pollinated legume species poses a challenge because normal methods used for assessing SNF conflict with breeding practices such as seed production and removing low‐quality sires. We investigated methods for measuring symbiotic N fixation that are compatible with breeding practice for two major legume cover crops: hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) and crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.). We collected two nondestructive samples at the early‐flowering stage (Meristem and Wedge) and a sample at seed harvest (Seed). Our objective was to determine which combination of measurements best predicted symbiotic N fixation (% N derived from atmosphere [Ndfa]) and total N content at 50% flowering. Our statistical approach accommodated the problem that target traits and seed measurements cannot be measured in the same individuals. Overall, the Wedge sample provided the best prediction for Ndfa at 50% flowering. The best predictions for total N plant–1 came from combining vigor ratings with aboveground biomass at seed harvest. In addition to specific recommendations for legume cover crop breeding programs, we provide a flexible statistical method for studying relationships between traits that cannot be measured jointly.
