Despite the widespread use of Leucaena leucocephala in alley cropping systems, little information is available on the effect of different magagement practices on its nitrogen fixation. We studied the effects of three successive cuttings at 12 week intervals on nodulation and nitrogen fixation of ...

Effect of successive cuttings on nodulation and nitrogen fixation of Leucaena leucocephala using 15N dilution and the difference methods
Biological N2 fixation (BNF) of hedgerow trees, organic mailer decomposition and nutrient transfer to associated food Crops are the major processes which should actualize the expected benefits of alley cropping systems. Leucaena leucocephala or Gliricid,a sepium can fix between 134 and 274 kg N2 ...

Increasing biological N2 fixation and its contribution to the N cycle in alley cropping
Twenty strains of cowpea Rhizobium have been screened to date for their ability to form nodules and to fix nitrogen using the Leonard jar assembly. The strains were tested on Ife Brown, TVu 1190, and TVx 222-01B. From among the twenty, four promising strains were selected. The nodulation and nitr...

Host-determined traits influence nodule initiation, development, and function. and can be of major importance to the proper functioning of the legume Rhizobium symbiosis under field conditions. Thls paper reviews such traits and considers their implications for practically oriented breeding progr...

The effect of soil fertility on the response of field beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli was investigated at five sites in northern and central Malawi. A split-plot design consisting of (a) un-inoculated plants, (b) inoculated plants and (c) N-f...

Crop livestock production systems in Africa are constrained by wide fluctuations in the quality and quantity of feed resources during the year and by the low availability of nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, in most soils, which threatens the sustainability of primary production. In ...
