Acetylene reduction activity increased with the age of the plant and maximum efficiency of nodule activity was detected 60 days after sowing, followed by a marked decline on the 120th day and continued at a low rate. Dry matter yield and total nitrogen in plants was more or less constant thrugh out the assay period.AgricultureRubberCover cropsLegumesNitrogen fixationAcytylene reductionDry matter yieldNodulationArticle
