Productivity and residual effects of legumes in ricebased cropping systems in a warmtemperate environment II. Residual effects on rice by Schulz, S., Keatinge, J.D.H., Wells, G.J.

“…Field experiments were conducted over the period 1994–1996 to investigate the residual effect on rice of a wide range of temperate legume species, grown during the preceding winter season in a warm-temperate environment in Nepal. The incorporation of large quantities of above- and below-ground legume biomass (roots and foliage) resulted in substantial residual effects on the subsequent upland rice crop. …”
