  1. Biomass, shoot over root biomass ratio, nodule over nodulated root biomass ratio and mean nodule weight of two pea genotypes (Cameor, Kayane) cultivated either in RhizoTubes or pots were measured after 18 days since sowing. Different capital letters in parentheses indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between traits measured in RhizoTube or in pot
