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...

Planted fallow systems under slash and mulch management were compared with natural fallow systems at two farms (BM1 and BM2) in the Colombian Andes. The BM1 site was relatively more fertile than the BM2 site. Planted fallow systems evaluated included Calliandra calothyrsus CIAT 20400 (CAL), Ind...

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...
