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...

Phosphorus deficiency is the major soil fertility problem limiting forage production in many parts of Africa. The objective of this study was to screen African Trifolium species for dry matter production, nutrient use efficiency and nitrogen fixation potential at different rates of applied Twenty...

The effects of Leucaena leucocephala and L. pallida prunings and cattle manure on maize nutrient uptake and yield were investigated in a hedgerow inter-cropping trial in the Ethiopian highlands. Hedgerow inter-cropping (also called alley cropping) is an agroforestry system in which trees are grow...

Eight chemical methods were employed for estimating the available P in 32 Ethiopian soils using Phasey bean (Macroptilium lathyroides c.Murray) as a test crop grown in small pots in a glasshouse and the soil test values then correlated with plant characteristics. Olsens' method gave the highest c...
