Abstract Purpose (1) To assess the biological N fixation (BNF) potential of varieties faba bean ( Vicia L.) cropped with or without compost in an experimental field-scale rotation no recent history legumes, (2) to enumerate soil populations Rhizobium leguminosarum sv. viciae Rlv ), and genetically characterize nodulating strains, (3) compare BNF other sites Britain. Methods was evaluated from 2012 2015 using 15 natural abundance. Treatments were either PK fertilizer compost. Soil rhizobial...
It is currently not recommended to grow soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) further than 54° North, but climate change and the development of new high latitude-adapted varieties raises possibility that it could be introduced into Scotland as a novel protein crop deriving most its nitrogen (N) requirements through biological N fixation (BNF). This was evaluated via field trials in 2017 2018 near Dundee (56.48°N). As there are no native soybean-nodulating bacteria (SNB) UK soils, requires...
Enhancing host defences through induced resistance, disease tolerance, and/or escape, in combination with current management regimes may be a valuable strategy to reduce pesticide use. Since both ‘on-farm’ seed priming (OSP) and chitosan (CHP) have been reported confer varying levels of defence, this study sought investigate their potential deliver control as for sustainable foliar pathogens winter barley. Field experiments were conducted determine the effects OSP CHP at two different field...
