Fig. 1. Seeding-year growth of kura clover herbage and root when inoculated (I) or not inoculated (NI) with rhizobial inoculant and fertilized with three different N treatments in three environments in Minnesota. 0, no fertilization; 100, 100 kg N ha-1 applied at seeding; and S100, split application of 100 kg N ha-1 at 10 kg N every other week after seeding. Vertical bars indicate the standard deviation.
