Abstract

In greenhouse pot experiments, Vicia faba cv. Minica was grown at ambient (315 ppm) or increased CO2 concentrations (695 ppm) with sufficient or 90 or 70% of required N, P and K. Doubling of atmospheric CO2 resulted in a >100% increase in total yield. This CO2 effect disappeared rapidly with increasing N, P or K shortage. Doubling of atmospheric CO2 resulted in no change in minimum N concentration and no change or a slight decrease in minimum P concentration in crop residues.
