Abstract:In low-fertility tropical agroecosystems, intercropping with perennial legumes has the potential to maximize biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and improve non-legume nitrogen (N) uptake and yields. However, the microbial interactions that facilitate the beneficial effects of intercropping in perennial systems remain largely uncharacterized, particularly in the tropics. In this study, we explored the contribution of root-associated bacteria and fungi to N content and the nutritional characteristics of perennia… Show more
