Abstract
To investigate the cause of the low productivity per unit amount of nitrogen absorbed in Leguminosae compared to Gramineae, the respiratory rates of shoot, root, and a single leaf of rice and soybean were monitored during the vegetative growth stage at 3 levels of nitrogen application using hydroponic culture. The results obtained were as follows.
