Title: Effect on nodule-formation and seed-production of growing soybeans on soil treated with sulfur dioxide

Journal Article · · J. Am. Soc. Agron.; (United States)
;

Treatment of field soil with sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde in 1% concentrations showed that the nodule formation was inhibited on the upper parts of the roots of Peking soybeans. Sulphorm, a combination of the two previously mentioned substances, applied in the same concentration, did not inhibit nodule formation to a like extent. No beneficial effects were noticeable in the crops from any of the plats, except with Sulphorm which gave about 20% more seed than was the average of the three controls. 3 references, 3 tables.
