Growth parameters and dry-matter yield of Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were evaluated for adaptability and response to various nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) combinations. N and P fertilisation significantly increased canopy height, growth rate, number of primary branches per plant,...
