Improving nitrogen fixation of crop legumes through breeding and agronomic management: analysis with simulation modelling.

2001-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The nitrogen fixed by legumes is a valuable resource in agriculture, with crop legumes alone contributing as much as 20% of the nitrogen requirements of the world’s grain and oilseed crops. Increasing legume nitrogen fixation through genetic improvement and more efficient management would have large economic benefits. Breeding for improved nitrogen fixation has, to a large extent, not been successful. Sugges...
