A litter bag technique was used to study the decomposition and release of N, P, K, Ca and Mg from Leucaena leucocephala and L. pallida prunings and cattle manure in a hedgerow intercropping trial conducted in the Ethiopian highlands. Hedgerow inter-cropping (also called alley cropping or alley fa...

Alfisols, Vertisols, Inceptisols, Aridisols, Mollisols, and Entisols were sampled (0-30 cm) from 32 locations across Ethiopia. The soils were analyzed for copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) contents using 0.005 M diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), 0.05 M hydrochloric ...

The N.P.K. Ca and Mg release patterns of the leaves of four accessions of Sesbania species and two accessions of Leucaena species were evaluated in a 5-week laboratory incubation. Leaves of these leguminous trees, applied at an equivalent rate of 3 t dm ha-1, were significant sources of N, K and ...

This paper is comprised of five parts. The first part discusses the role of legumes in sustainable soil management and crop-livestock production. In this part, strategic use of legumes, selection of forage legumes to sub-optimal soil conditions, use of appropriate rhizobium, response of legumes t...

Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of phosphorus application and Rhizobium inoculation on the growth and nitrogen fixation of three tree legume species on a highland vertisol. The first experiment involved Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei, the second Leucaena panicu...

This paper reports on studies of Faidherbia albida trees and their effects on some properties of vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands. The study was carried at the experiment station of ILCA at Debre Zeit with 850 mm rainfall and at an altitude of 1850 m. Studies on the lateral and vertical influ...
