Symbiotic nitrogen fixation response of Mucuna as affected by rhizobial inoculation in farmers fields in the derived savanna of Benin
Leguminous cover crops such as Mucuna pruriens (mucuna) have the potential to contribute to soil N and increase the yields of subsequent or associated cereal crops through symbiotic N fixation. It has often been assumed that mucuna will freely nodulate, fix N2 and therefore contribute to soil N. How...
