Summarises available information on the P status of soils, effect of P application on nodulation, dry-matter and seed production, crude-protein and dry-matter digestibility; use of slow release sources of P; differences among species and varieties in their response to P ; assessment of P status o...

Vertisols and soils with vertic properties are an important soil group in the Ethiopian highlands. Poor drainage, soil, water and nutrient erosion are the most serious problems on highland Vertisols. Due to their high moisture- storage capacity, they have high production potential and this potent...

Phosphorus (P) is required to improve soil fertility for food and feed produciton in sub-Saharan Africa, but the high cost of conventional, water-soluble P fertilizers limits their use by resource-poor farmers. Rockphosphates are a low-cost alternative. The effectiveness, in terms of seed product...

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...

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...
