Verano in fertilized and unfertilized conditions in NE Thailand. Vigna unguiculata cv. 305 was studied in a NPK subtractive experiment. One year later, Vigna unguiculata cv. 305 and S. hamata cv. Verano were studied for their adaptation to low P on the top of the toposequence. The results showed that P addition not only increases above-ground biomass, but also nodulation and N2 fixation of V. unguiculata cv. 305 and S. hamata cv. Verano. Nitrogen fixation represented between 30% and 58% of total plant N with P applications. The soil organic carbon increased strongly the weight of the nodules for V. unguiculata cv. 305 when no fertilizer was added. Our results pointed out a positive correlation between N content inside the plant and nodule dry weight for V. unguiculata cv. 305. We noticed that an increase of 1 mg in nodule dry weight produced an increased in total plant N at flowering stage of 1.29 mg plant-1 in the control and of 1.48 mg plant-1 in the PK treatment. Regarding S. hamata cv. Verano, an increase of 1 mg in nodule dry weight at 183 days after sowing (DAS) produced an increase in N content of 3.18 mg plant-1.
