We calculate the effective action for nonabelian gauge bosons up to quarticorder using WZW-like open superstring field theory. After including level zeroand level one contributions, we obtain with 75% accuracy the Yang-Mills quarticterm. We then prove that the complete effective action reproduces the exactYang-Mills quartic term by analytically performing a summation over theintermediate massive states.Comment: 10 page
