Growth and N uptake in pot-grown maize, beans, and cassava were evaluated under 2 levels of soil N at CIAT-Palmira (Colombia). The lower amount of the element reduced its uptake by the 3 species, resulting in lower tissue concn., especially in the leaves. Under low N, DM accumulation was also red...

Leaves of nine green manure (GM) species were surface applied to a tropical volcanic-ash soil at a rate of 100 kg N ha 1 in order to evaluate their N-fertilizer value in a glasshouse experiment. GM treatments were compared to urea at two rates, 50 kg N ha 1 (FN50) and 100 kg N ha 1 (FN100), and t...

We studied the effect of three successive cuttings on N uptake and fixation and N distribution in Leucaena leucocephala. Two isolines, uninoculated or inoculated with three different Rhizobium strains, were grown for 36 weeks and cut every 12 weeks. The soil was labelled with 50 ppm KNO 3 enriche...

Most commercial Brachiaria species are adapted to low-fertility acid soils of the tropics. We describe, with examples, some of the attributes that enable them to adapt. These include the ability to (1) maintain root growth at the expense of shoot growth; (2) acquire and use both nitrate and ammon...

The effect of triple superphosphate (TSP), band-applied at depths of 5 and 25 cm, with 0, 66, and 131 kg P/ha, on the yield (14 percent MC) of bean var. Carioca, G 4000, and ICA-Pijao (efficient in P utilization), and Puebla 152 (inefficient) was studied at CIAT`s exptl. station in Quilichao, Col...

Aspects on mineral nutrition of bean plants and the nature of each nutrient in the soil and in the plant are described. The need for fertilization is briefly justified and the physicochemical form, mobility, and dynamics of the nutrients in the soil and their availability to plants are explained....
Effects of application of prunings of three woody species (Acioa barteri, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala), maize (Zea mays L.) stover and rice (Oryza sativa L.) straw as mulch on maize were studied on an Alfisol in southern Nigeria in 1990 and 1991. Maize dry matter and grain yield w...
