Figure 2From: Vermiculite’s strong buffer capacity renders it unsuitable for studies of acidity on soybean (Glycine max L.) nodulation and growthThe effect of different treatments on nodulation and plant growth. Nodule number per plant at 3 weeks (a) and 4 weeks (b); nodule dry weight at 3 weeks (c) and 4 weeks (d); shoot dry weight per plant at 3 weeks (e) and 4 weeks (f); and root dry weight of soybean (per plant) at 3 weeks (g) and 4 weeks (h) after inoculation. The data are expressed as means and SD of three replications. B: B&D nutrient solution; H: modified Herridge nutrient solution; 7: pH 7.0; 4: pH 4.0. In each graph, values followed by different letters are significantly (P < 0.05) different.Back to article page
