The Effect of Organic Matter in Soil on Legume Nodulation

Abstract: Pot experiments were used to test the effect of incorporating various organic materials in the soil on the nodulation of peas (Pisum sativum). Only farmyard manure gave a consistent increase in the number and weight of nodules, and also in plant growth, increases which were also produced by the aqueous extract of farmyard manure, although none of these increases were as large as those obtained by the addition of a combination of P and K fertilizers or activated vermiculite. Field beans [Viciafaba) and French b… Show more

“…Nodule number and above-ground biomass weight of legumes seem to increase with increasing levels of organic matter. For example, Masefield (1965) assessed the effect of incorporation of organic matter on legume nodulation (number and weight) in pot trials. The addition of farmyard manure increased the number of nodules for peas (Pisum sativum), field beans (Vicia faba) and French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris).…”

“…C LAY and organic soils require more herbicide than do sandy soils for effective weed control (1,2,7). A certain amount of herbicide is needed to saturate the adsorptive capacity of the soil and above this "threshold level," Upchurch (11) reports that higher rates will increase the amount of herbicide in the soil solution and thus increase the toxicity to plants.…”

“…Organic matter in the soil has been shown to reduce herbicide loss through leaching (8,9). Masefield (7) reported significant increases in soybean (Glycine max. L.) nodulation when sawdust was incorporated in the soil.…”
