PY - 1989 DA - 1989/03/01 TI - Selection of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for N2 fixation at different levels of available phosphorus under field and environmentally-controlled conditions JO - Plant and Soil SP - 75 EP - 82 VL - 115 IS - 1 AB - Phosphorus is one of several factors which affect N2 fixation and along with N, is a principal yield-limiting nutrient in many regions of the world. Since the legume plant is an essential partner in symbiotic N2 fixation, knowledge of host genotype variability for this process at different levels of P availability will be useful when breeding bean cultivars for enhanced N2 fixation. The objective of this study was to obtain common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines able with enhanced ability to support biological N2 fixation under different levels of available phosphorus.
