Legumes

, 2017
Legumes are plants whose fruit is a pod. Most of these plants have bacteria on their roots which fix atmospheric nitrogen, which means nitrogen fertilizers are not necessary for their cultivation. In addition, choosing to add legumes in a cropping system improves soil fertility and reduces fertilizer inputs including on the following crops.

Legacy Knowledge on Landscape Soil Carbon—Concentrated Organic Input to Selected Sites Comes With the Expense of Soil Health of Larger Areas

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Xu et al. show that high organic input and N‐balancing fertilization improve soil health at the soil plot scale; however, the effects of allocating C and N on soil health at the landscape or region scale are not considered. Historical soil management systems show that such a depletive redistribution leads to local agricultural improvements ...

Do Short‐Term Legume–Maize Sequences Outperform Maize Monoculture Regarding Biomass Production and P Use Efficiency Under P‐Restricted Conditions?

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
In a short‐term pot experiment, three legume‐based crop rotations are being tested for their effects on the P cycle and P use efficiency compared to maize monoculture. Legume‐based crop rotations stimulate the P cycle by increasing acid phosphatase activity and carboxylate exudation.

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Return to baseline arsenic concentrations after 1 year on gluten‐free diet in children with celiac disease: A prospective cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Lifelong adherence to a gluten‐free diet (GFD) is the primary treatment for celiac disease (CeD). Concerns have been raised about increased exposure to contaminants in a GFD because rice, which naturally bioaccumulates arsenic and other environmental contaminants, is commonly used as a substitute for gluten.
