Study Of Nitrogen Fixation By Tropical Legumes In Acid Soil From Venezuelan Savannas Using N-15
Interciencia(2006)
摘要
In Venezuela, around 70% of cultivable land presents limitations by acid pH and low availability of P and N in the soil. Sustainable N-replenishment strategies, particularly for low-to medium-input systems oil acid soil of savannas, could make use of biological N-2-fixation. The object of this study was to estimate the biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) potential of various tropical legumes grown in acid soil from Venezuelan savannahs by N-15-techniques. The results suggest that the Cajanus cajan is a legume with high capacity for N-2 fixation (79% N derived from the atmosphere), providing a positive N balance into the fallow system. The estimation of BNF in all legumes varied with the non-N-2 fixing reference crops used, confirming that the use of all inadequate reference crop call result in erroneous estimates of BNF especially when the level of N, fixation is low The legume Indigosphera lespediciodes shows potential for use as all alternative green manure because of high total N accumulation and N derived from the atmosphere (62-71%). The results demonstrate that in acid soil it is possible to promote sustainability of agrosystems through the use of conservationist management practices.
