Abstract
To improve the tolerance of soybean plants to acidic soils, it is important to determine which acidic soil infertility factors are most detrimental and whether the plant or the symbiotic relationships with Bradyrhizobium japonicum is more adversely affected. The objectives of this study were (1) to compare the effects of acidity and Al toxicity on soybeans grown in soil and (2) to determine if the plant or the symbiosis is more susceptible to acidic soil conditions.
