Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization promotes rapid initial growth of leucaena on Alfisol

Determines whether small quantity of nitrogen fertilizer in combination with phosphorus will enhance rapid early growth of Leucaena leucocephala, especially, on the highly weathered, low organic matter and low available P soils; and concludes that fertilizer N and P application increased growth rate...
