The biological nitrogen fixation is a sustainable option to nitrogen fertilization. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of mineral nitrogen and N2 from the biological nitrogen fixation on nitrogen nutrition in soybean plants, six treatments resulting from combining three levels of mineral N: (0.0, 3.5 and 7 meq L-1 of NO3 -) and inoculation with the CP-2 strain of Bradhyrizobium japonicum (with and without inoculation) were evaluated, each treatment was established in triplicate, in three-liter plastic pots and agrolite as substrate, transplanting six soybean seedlings per pot. Dry matter (DM) in plant organs, number and dry weight of nodules, fixation of N2, soluble N (N-amino acid and N-ureido) and total N per organ were evaluated. The plants that received mineral N transported between 86 and 95% of the total soluble N as N amino acid, while in inoculated plants, the supply of mineral N negatively affected the number of nodules (29%) and the weight of nodules (64%), decreasing 55% the fixation of N2, in these plants between 50 and 70% of the soluble N transported was as N ureido. At the R6 stage, it was estimated that 70% of the total N accumulated in the DM came from the fixed N2, favoring the DM of leaves, stems, petioles and mainly the DM in pods. Therefore, in this study it is demonstrated that plants inoculated and supplied with mineral N obtain better effects for DM and total N.
