| Comments |
"Non-Rhizobium N-fixing organisms associated with some
crops (e.g., cereals) and trees have ranges from 5X10^2 to 2X10^3 mgN/m^2,
while cyanobacteria associated with rice paddies and endophytic diazotrophs
associated with sugar cane can fix 2X10^3 to 3X10^3 mgN/m^2 and 5X10^3,
respectively (primary source)." |
