e0“Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an easy to manage crop with good tolerance to drought and low-fertility soils”
e1“Cowpea treatment was the most effective in increasing exchangeable cations, CEC, SB, and root yield”
e3“Here we analyze how different legume green manures affect cassava root growth and soil quality in an oxisol from northern Brazil”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Cowpea green manure increased exchangeable cations, CEC and SB in the cassava field study.
- Intervention effect Jack bean green manure increased acid cations and soil organic carbon.
- Observation A hierarchy of exchangeable cations, Ca2+>Mg2+>K+, was observed in the cassava field soil.
- Association Plant diameter had a positive linear correlation with cassava root yield.
- Intervention effect Green fertilization positively influenced soil organic carbon in the cassava field study.
- Intervention effect Green fertilization minimized the depletion of exchangeable cations and was thought to prevent cassava yield losses.
- Intervention effect Cowpea treatment acted more broadly on the soil and plant variables studied than the other treatments.
