Nitrogen contribution of Leucaena/Rhizobium symbiosis to soil and a subsequent maize crop
The nitrogen contribution from the shoot and root system of symbiotically grown leucaena was evaluated in a field experiment on an Alfisol at IITA in Southern Nigeria. Maize in plots that received prunings from inoculated leucaena contained more N and grain yield was increased by 1.9 t.ha.−1. Large...
