"Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is commonly inhibited by N fertilization in intensive farming systems. We hypothesized that intercropping alleviates the inhibitory effect of N fertilization on nodulation and N-2 fixation of legumes," scientists writing in the journal Plant and Soil report.
"Two years of field experiments (2006-2007) with different N-fertilizer rates (0, 75, 150, 225, 300 kg N ha(-1)) were carried out to test the hypothesis in a faba bean (Vicia faba L.)/maize (Zea mays L.) intercropping system in the north-western part of China.
