Persistence of Mucuna pruriens biomass during the dry season along an agroecological transect in Benin
The persistence of Mucuna biomass was observed in three sites in the Benin Republic during the dry season of 1997-98. At Parakou, in the southern Guinea savanna agroecological zone of northern Benin, Mucuna dry matter (DM) decreased at a rate of approximately 0.2t/ha/month. At the onset of the next...
