Response of Leucaena leucocephala to inoculation in a soil of pH 5.5

A glasshouse experiment compared the performance of strains of Rhizobium with Leucaena leucocephala in a "cerrado" soil limed to pH 5.5. Liming increased dry matter production, but variation within replicates was so great that increases in nodule dry weight and N2 fixed were not statistically signif...

Summary:A glasshouse experiment compared the performance of strains of Rhizobium with Leucaena leucocephala in a "cerrado" soil limed to pH 5.5. Liming increased dry matter production, but variation within replicates was so great that increases in nodule dry weight and N2 fixed were not statistically significant.
