At the Colombian coffee growing area, between 1,000 and 2,000m elevation, experiments were carried out under field conditions on steep slopes at Romelia (2,500 mm rainfall and a Dystrandept type of soil), and at Supía (1,708 mm rainfall and a Eutrandept type of soil). The legumes (Centrosema macr...
