Legume Cover Crops and Nutrient Cycling in Tropical Fruit Tree Production
Legume cover crops have various important effects on nutrient cycling in tropical fruit tree production: they (i) fix atmospheric N2 and may amend the soil and trees with N, (ii) recycle nutrients, and (iii) affect soil nutrient availability. Aboveground N accumulation usually is very large in legume cover crops as seen from Pueraria phaseoloides being 8 to 14 times higher than in intercropped ...
متن کاملDifferential Soil Acidity Tolerance of Tropical Legume Cover Crops
In tropical regions, soil acidity and low soil fertility are the most important yield-limiting factors for sustainable crop production. Using legume cover crops as mulch is an important strategy not only to protect the soil loss from erosion but also to ameliorate soil fertility. Information is limited regarding tolerances of tropical legume cover crops to acid soils. A greenhouse experiment wa...
متن کاملCover Crops in Sustainable Food Production
Cover crops are important components of sustainable agricultural systems. They increase surface residue and aid in the reduction of soil erosion. They improve the structure and water-holding capacity of the soil and thus increase the effectiveness of applied N fertilizer. Legume cover crops such as hairy vetch and crimson clover fix nitrogen and contribute to the nitrogen requirements of subseq...
متن کاملBiculture Legume–Cereal Cover Crops for Enhanced Biomass Yield and Carbon and Nitrogen
leach into groundwater after crop harvest in the fall, and depending on the species, can sequester atmospheric C Biculture legume–cereal cover cropping may enhance aboveand and/or N, thereby reducing the amount of N fertilizer belowground biomass yields and C and N contents. The increase in C and N supply to the soil has the potential to improve soil quality required for summer crops (Hargrove,...
متن کاملMilk Production from a Tropical Legume-grass Pasture
One member of each of three pairs of monozygous twin dairy cows was fed freshly cut Glycine javanica and kikuyu-grass pasture ad libitum while the co-twins were fed lucerne hay ad libitum and a concentrate mixture. The mean daily digestible organic matter and digestible crude protein intakes for the cows fed pasture were 7.0 kg and 1.35 kg, and for the cows fed hay and concentrates were 10.2 kg...
