Maize yields in a Mucuna pruriens var. Utilis and Pueraria phaseoloides relay fallow system on an Ultisol in southern Cameroon
Nitrogen nutrition of sole maize crops is problematic in ‘no-input’ agricultural systems. The ability of the N2 fixing cover crops. Mucuna pruriens var. utilis and Pueraria phaseoloides, to sustain annual cropping of sole maize was tested from 1997 to 2000, with the fallow biomass either burned or r...
