Canavalia brasiliensis (canavalia), a drought tolerant legume, was introduced into the smallholder traditional crop-livestock production system of the Nicaraguan hillsides as green manure to improve soil fertility or as forage during the dry season for improving milk production. Since nitrogen (N...

Nitrogen balances in farmers fields under alternative uses of a cover crop legume: a case study from Nicaragua
Leaves of nine green manure (GM) species were surface applied to a tropical volcanic-ash soil at a rate of 100 kg N ha 1 in order to evaluate their N-fertilizer value in a glasshouse experiment. GM treatments were compared to urea at two rates, 50 kg N ha 1 (FN50) and 100 kg N ha 1 (FN100), and t...

El uso de cultivos forrajeros para corte y acarreo o para ensilar es una alternativa para reducir los efectos negativos de la época seca en la alimentación de animales en sistemas ganaderos doble propósito en el trópico seco. Por otra parte, el uso de abonos verdes de leguminosas es una alternati...

The impact of heating and soaking on the in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis of protein varies in different species of tropical legumes
The integration of multipurpose legumes into low-input tropical agricultural systems is needed because they are a nitrogen (N) input through symbiotic fixation. The drought-tolerant cover legume canavalia (Canavalia brasiliensis) has been introduced for use either as forage or as a green manure i...

The capacity of woody and non-woody species to supply N to rice (Oryza sativa) was evaluated in field and greenhouse experiments in Palmira, Colombia. N liberation rates decreased in the order: Indigofera constricta > Mucuna deerengianum > Mucuna pruriens var. Brunin > Tithonia diversifo...
