Nitrogen fixation by common beans in crop mixtures is influenced by growth rate of associated species
Abstract Background Legumes can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) and facilitate N availability to their companion plants in crop mixtures. However, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of legumes in intercrops varies largely with the identity of the legume species. The aim of our study was to understand w...
