Effect of shading on growth and dinitrogen fixation of kudzu and tropical pasture legumes
Open accessAbstract
Dry matter production and dinitrogen fixation characteristics in kudzu (Pueraria lobata Ohwi) and some tropical pasture legumes, centro (Centrosema pubescens) and siratro (Macroptilium atropurpureurn cv siratro) were studied under full sunlight and shaded conditions. Nodulating (T202) and nonnodulating (T201) soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) isolines, were used as reference crops. The results obtained showed that: 1. Under full sunlight conditions, the whole plant weight at final harvest was in the following order: siratro > T202 ≧ kudzu > centro ≫ T201. However the root to shoot ratio was significantly higher in kudzu than in the other species, particularly at the later growth stages (105 d after planting).2. Total plant N content and carbohydrate accumulation in the legumes followed the same order as that of the whole plant weight. Higher nitrogen (N) and starch accumulation were observed in kudzu roots at the later growth stages, with a simultaneous reduction in the shoot N amount, suggesting that shoot N was retranslocated to the roots.3. Under full sunlight conditions, the dinitrogen fixing activity estimated by the 15N dilution method was highest in siratro and lowest in kudzu, while, under shaded conditions, the dinitrogen fixation estimated by the total N difference method decreased significantly in siratro but only slightly in kudzu.4. Except for kudzu under mild shading conditions (55% shading) where an increase in the whole plant weight and a fairly constant N amount were observed, shading reduced the total plant weight and N amount in all the legumes.5. Shading reduced the root weight, N and carbohydrate amounts in kudzu, while its effect on the shoot weight and dinitrogen fixation activity was negligible. Based on these results, it is suggested that kudzu was the most shade-tolerant legume among the species in this study. This is mainly due to the higher activities of dinitrogen fixation and shoot growth at the expense of root growth.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“T he semiwoody roots of a single plant can have diameters of up to 30 cm and extend to depths of 3.7 m (M iller 1988;M iller and Edwards 1983), accounting for up to 40% of total plant biomass (Fujita et al. 1993) and providing considerable carbohydrate storage for recovery after disturbance.”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Although it thrives best under full-sunlight conditions, kudzu is considered to be moderately tolerant to shade (Fujita et al. 1993).”

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“Leaf area index (LAI ) (square meters of leaf area per square meter of ground area) of kudzu can exceed 8 (Fujita et al. 1993), resulting in dense shade capable of absorbing almost all direct solar radiation incident on a given site.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
