Abstract

SUMMARY Pot experiments were used to test the effect of incorporating various organic materials in the soil on the nodulation of peas ( Pisum sativum ). Only farmyard manure gave a consistent increase in the number and weight of nodules, and also in plant growth, increases which were also produced by the aqueous extract of farmyard manure, although none of these increases were as large as those obtained by the addition of a combination of P and K fertilizers or activated vermiculite. Field beans ( Vicia faba ) and French beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris ) in general reacted in the same way as peas.
