Appropriate 15N-labeling methods are crucial for estimating N2-fixation in trees used in agroforestry systems. A 4-year field experiment was conducted on an Alfisol in Southwestern Nigeria to compare the estimates of Na fixed in Leucaena leucocephala, using two non-N2-fixing leguminous trees, Sen...

Yields under alley cropping might be improved if the most limiting nutrients not adequately supplied or cycled by the leaves could be added as an inorganic fertilizer supplement. Three historic leaf management strategies had been in effect for 3 years in a Leucaena leucocephala alley cropping tri...

In order to determine how dependent a woody legume can be upon potential N sources, the time course of N2 fixation and N absorption was studied on Gliricidia sepium cv. ILG50, Leucaena leucocephala cv. K28, and Albizia lebbeck in a screenhouse for 16 months using Senna siamea as a reference tree....

Pot experiments were carried out to assess the nutrient availability of earthworm casts (wormcasts) of Hyperiodrilus africanus that were collected from plots of Dactyladenia barteri, Leucaena leucocephala and Treculia africana grown on an Alfisol (Oxic paleustalf) as affected by drying and grindi...

The effect of pruning on the dynamics of N release in the root zone of Albizia lebbeck and Leucaena leucocephala was studied using potted soil and minilysimeters with presterilized sand-medium supplied with Nfree nutrient solution. Plants were pruned twice at 11 and 13 months and leachates were c...

Field studies carried out in a forest transition site on a tropical Alfisol in southwestern Nigeria, show that shading by gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud) and leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit) hedgerow species reduced density of speargrass (Imperata cylindrica (L.) Raeusc...

Effects of hedgerow species on surface soil physical properties were studied in an on-going trial established since 1981 on an Oxic Paleustalf in southwestern Nigeria. The experimental treatments were Leucaena leucocephala, Gliricidia sepium, Alchornea cordifolia and Acioa barterii hedgerows plan...
