Performance of commonly grown agroforestry woody species was assessed at two locations in southern Nigeria, on an Alfisol (Oxic Paleustalf) at Ibadan in the forest-savanna transition zone and on an Ultisol (Typic Paleudult) at Onne in the forest zone, with annual rainfall of 1280 and 2400 mm resp...

Decomposition and nutrient release patterns of prunings of three woody agroforestry plant species (Acioa barteri, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala), maize (Zea mays) stover and rice (Oryza sativa) straw, were investigated under field conditions in the humid tropics, using litterbags of...

Effects of application of five types of plant residues [Acioa barteri, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala prunings, maize (Zea mays) stover and rice (Oryza sativa) straw] as mulch on soil fauna were examined under field conditions in the humid tropics in 1990 and 1991. Earthworm mean pop...

Result of long time alley cropping trials show that the inclusion of N2- fixing hedgerow species maintain higher levels of soil fertility than control treatment (no hedgerow) on high base status soils in the humid zone. Hedgerows contribute to nutrient cycling and higher faunal activity. With goo...

Les engrais fournissent les elements nutritifs necessaires aux vegetaux pour leur developpement, D'une maniere general, les vegetaux absorbent les elements nutritifs dissous dans I'eau. Toutefois, on ne peut pas se servir uniquement de la solubilite dans l'eau pour mesurer la quantite d'elements ...
