- Nodule Assessment Timing
- Assessment Procedure
- Assessment Codes
Nodulation assessments should be done during early flowering. Nodule formation begins approximately 14 days after crop emergence, but under certain conditions formation may take three to four weeks. Nodule numbers and nitrogen fixation rates generally are at a maximum during early-to mid-flowering. After flowering, nodule efficiency is reduced and ...
To assess the nodulation and nitrogen fixation potential of a pulse crop, select five areas that are typical of that field at early flowering. Follow the steps listed below in each of the five areas: 1. Evaluate plant growth and vigour of the area according to the assessment codes shown below. 2. With a shovel, carefully dig up a minimum of two pla...
1. Plant and growth vigour
Poor nitrogen fixation can cause nitrogen deficiency symptoms such as yellowing of the leaves at the base of the plant prior to flowering and poor plant development.
2. Colour of interior of the nodules/number
Nitrogen fixation efficiency can be estimated with nodule colour and the number of nodule clusters present. Carefully slice open the nodules. The strong pink colour of the nodules is caused by the presence of leghemoglobin, which must be present for active nitrogen fixation. If a nodule is brown, white or green it is considered non-effective.

In-Situ Soil Testing Methods. In-situ soil testing methods are performed directly in the field to assess soil properties and conditions at the site without the need for soil samples to be transported to a laboratory. These methods provide real-time data and are crucial for geotechnical engineering, construction, and environmental assessments.
