Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Canavalia produced more than 3 t/ha biomass within four months.
- Intervention effect Maize after Mucuna yielded 2.3 t/ha without fertilizer nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Maize after Canavalia yielded 1.6 t/ha without fertilizer nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Maize after soybean yielded 1.0 t/ha without fertilizer nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Maize after legumes responded to fertilizer nitrogen.
- Observation The highest marginal return after Canavalia occurred at 90 kg N/ha.
- Observation The highest marginal return after soybean occurred at 90 kg N/ha.
- Observation The highest marginal return after Mucuna occurred at 60 kg N/ha.
- Recommendation The authors favored Mucuna–maize rotation for monetary gain and soil organic matter.
- Recommendation The authors recommended 60 kg N/ha after Mucuna as the most efficient option.
