However, previous studies on crop rotations have not linked growth gains of successive crops to the stimulation of soil P processes by legumes.

Johaninio), faba bean (<i>Vicia faba</i> cv. Augusta)/maize, white lupin (<i>Lupinus albus</i> cv. Célina)/maize, and maize/maize) under P limitation and with the application of P fertilizers differing in their P availability (rock phosphate, struvite, and triple superphosphate) in a pot trial.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterase activity were strongly and persistently stimulated by white lupin and faba bean (2× for acid and 1.22–1.23× for alkaline phosphomonoesterase activity). However, even under P limitation, biomass and P offtake of successive maize did not benefit from the previous cultivation of legumes. In contrast, lupin strongly inhibited the growth of successive maize (0.4× aboveground biomass of maize after maize), although lupin increased calcium-acetate extractable P. None of the legume-based early growth sequences could compete with maize monoculture regarding PUE due to the low aboveground biomass of legumes compared to pre-crop maize.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This study questions the one-sided positive portrayal of legumes in crop rotations for improving the P nutrition of succeeding maize and can guide the design of future field experiments.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science","volume":"189 2","pages":"276-286"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jpln.70060","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147684019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
