Abstract
SUMMARY Responses of nodulating and non-nodulating isolines of Clark and Harosoy to applications of N were studied, to evaluate the suitability of symbiosis versus N fertilization for soybean. Nodulating lines did not respond to N when they were either effectively inoculated or raised on a field which had been under inoculated soybean in the past. On a field brought under soybean for the first time, uninoculated Clark and Harosoy needed 300 and 235 kg. N/ha. respectively to give maximum yields. Symbiosis proved better than N fertilization for the N nutrition of soybean.
