Displaying 856 - 860 of 958Nitrogen and phosphorus requirements for the growth and nodulation of Cajanus cajan in Panamanian soils
Chemical analysis and missing element trials with Sorghum vulgare L. showed that three Panamanian soils, representative of three great soil groups, were deficient in both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). When a greenhouse trial was undertaken to test the response of Cajanus cajan to rhizobial inoculation, N and P fertilization in these soils, no response was obtained in either the Río Hato or Los Santos soils. There was a definite response to P and a slight response to inoculation in the Pacora soil, which had the poorest fertility level. N applications depressed nodulation.

Se describen los resultados obtenidos durante 1981 por la seccion de Microbiologia del Suelo del Programa de Pastos Tropicales del CIAT, cuyos objetivos especificos son: 1) seleccionar leguminosas forrajeras promisorias que no requieren inoculacion; 2) seleccionar cepas de Rhizobium para leguminosas que si necesitan inoculacion; y 3) evaluar el efecto de las tecnicas de inoculacion y practicas de manejo de pastos en la nodulacion y fijacion de N en el campo. Se presentan los resultados de 1) expt.
