Fig. 1. Legume N yield and amounts of N fixed (15N isotope dilution method) as affected by P sources under flooded conditions in the pot and field experiments. Bars with the same letters are not significantly different (LSD, P < 0.05). PR, phosphate rock; TSP, triple superphosphate.

Fig. 2. Effects of P sources on percentage of N derived from the atmosphere (%Ndfa) by A. afraspera as measured by the 15N isotope dilution method under flooded conditions in the pot and field experiments. Bars with the same letters are not significantly different (LSD, P < 0.05). PR, phosphate rock; TSP, triple superphosphate.
