Desidratação e composição química do feno de Leucena (Leucena leucocephala) e Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium) [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Saúde e Produção Animal, 2016
RESUMO Objetivou-se avaliar a composição química e tempo para atingir o ponto de fenação da Leucena (Leucena leucocephala) e Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium). Foram coletadas amostras nos tempos 0, 2, 4, 6, 8,10, 12, 14, e 16 horas de secagem para obtenção da curva de desidratação para cada espécie de forragem.

Living Mulch Performance in a Tropical Cotton System and Impact on Yield and Weed Control

Agriculture, 2018
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a major crop in the Vidarbha region of central India. The vertisol soils on which much of the cotton is grown have been severely degraded by the tropical climate, excessive tillage and depletion of organic matter. Living

Patterns of decomposition and nutrient release by fresh Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium) leaves in an ultisol [PDF]

Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 1999
Legume leaves used as green manure are a potential alternative to the use of commercial N fertilizers for non-legume crop production. Thus it is important to understand the rate of legume leaf decomposition and its release of nutrients. This paper reports the results of a litter bag experiment using fresh Gliricidia sepium leaves under field conditions.

Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium) Green Manures as a Potential Source of N for Maize Production in the Tropics [PDF]

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2001
Use of cheap, N-rich, and environmentally benign legume green manures to correct N deficiency in infertile soils is a very attractive option in the humid tropics. Understanding the influence of management and climate on their effectiveness, and quantifying their contribution to crop productivity, is therefore crucial for technology adoption and ...
