  • Beschreibung: Nodulated plants of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) were grown for 6 weeks in sand culture in a range of constantly maintained levels of NO₃-N. The application of NO₃-N in the rooting medium increased the dry weight of the plants, particularly the shoot system. High levels of NO₃-N resulted in drastic reduction in the proportion of ¹⁴C-labelled photosynthates translocated to the nodulus, with a corresponding increase to the stem and roots. Nodules on plants grown without NO₃-N had a higher ¹⁴C-activity.
