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...

Nitrogen mineralization and crop uptake from surface-applied leaves of green manure species on a tropical volcanic-ash soil
The decomposition and nutrient release of 12 plant materials were assessed in a 20-week litterbag field study in hillsides from Cauca, Colombia. Leaves of Tithonia diversifolia (TTH) and Indigofera constricta (IND) decomposed quickly (k=0.035±0.002 d?1), while those of Cratylia argentea (CRA) and...

Decomposition and nutrient release by green manures in a tropical hillside agroecosystem
The capacity of woody and non-woody species to supply N to rice (Oryza sativa) was evaluated in field and greenhouse experiments in Palmira, Colombia. N liberation rates decreased in the order: Indigofera constricta > Mucuna deerengianum > Mucuna pruriens var. Brunin > Tithonia diversifo...
