Journal Article 1993

Autor: Tian, G. Brussaard, Lijbert Kang, B.

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...

Journal Article 1994

Autor: Tian, G. Brussaard, Lijbert Kang, B.

An equation was developed for calculating a plant residue quality index (PRQI) in the (sub-)humid tropics using the C/N ratio and lignin and polyphenol concentration of plant residues. Among 18 plant species tested, there was a large variation in PRQI. The PRQI was correlated with the decompositi...

Intensification of agriculture in the tropics has resulted from a shortage of farmland and insufficient food production to satisfy the needs of an expanding population. Many tropical farmers are challenged by the prospect of intensifying their production while sustaining or improving the fertilit...

Field litterbag decomposition study, through widely accepted for examining decomposition of plant residues, is time consuming, as it requires several months to complete. An experiment was conducted to explore the possibility to introduce ruminant nylonbag assay which only takes 3-4 days, to plant...
