Potentials and limitations to the biological nitrogen contribution from forage legumes in sub-Saharan Africa
Crop livestock production systems in Africa are constrained by wide fluctuations in the quality and quantity of feed resources during the year and by the low availability of nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, in most soils, which threatens the sustainability of primary production. In ...
