Four inoculated ecotypes of each of Centrosema acutifolium, C. brasilianum, and C. macrocarpum were grown in undisturbed soil cores in the glasshouse at 7 levels of P application. At 7 weeks after planting, dry matter production, leaf area, N yield, nodulation, nodule P, acetylene reduction activity, and shoot N all increased strongly with P supply. Response to P in leaf number, leaf size and leaf-stem ratio, nodule number and nodule weight differed among species. Intra-specific variation was strong in dry matter and N yields, shoot N, and nodule P.
