Leguminous Cover Plant, Mucuna bracteata This perennial leguminous creepers have deep roots and produce significant quantities of litter which decomposes slowly, and increases the fertility of surface soil. The social problem of cattle grazing on the leguminous covers and drought season, further exasperates planter in the establishment of legumes. In the past planters were often judged by the ability to establish pure leguminous covers; however this is a fallacy now, due to shortage of labour and virulent weeds. cheriachagelmathews.tripod.com   (1923 words)

Leguminous fodder trees in the farming system - an over view of research at the humid zone programme of ILCA in ... The potential of leguminous fodder trees in farming systems of humid West Africa is considered in the light of research work carried out by the Humid Zone Programme of the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) at Ibadan, Nigeria. The potential of leguminous fodder trees within the farming system of the lowland tropics should be seen in their multipurpose nature and their ease of integration into existing farming systems. Leguminous fodder trees can be used for the improvement of both crop and livestock production and thus offer a means of linking small ruminant production with arable crop production. www.fao.org /wairdocs/ilri/x5488e/x5488e0o.htm   (4693 words)

Foliar-applied methanol and nitrogen for increased productivity on leguminous plants - Patent 5532204 The invention pertains to a method for increasing the seed yield of leguminous plants in general and soybeans in particular by a foliar-applied fertilization method at an R5 seed growth stage for soy bean plants and the pod growth stage in other leguminous plants. The method requires spraying the leguminous plants with a methanol solution that is up to 50% of a water based solution; then subsequently or concurrently applying a urea based nitrogen fertilizer at 25-50 pounds/acre. Leguminous plants are characterized by their ability to fix nitrogen microbially from the atmosphere, usually in nodules connected to their root systems, and their ability to use fixed nitrogen to produce proteinaceous seeds. www.freepatentsonline.com /5532204.html   (3681 words)

Chemical composition, in situ degradability and amino acid composition of protein supplements fed to livestock and ... Furthermore, the development of high yielding, mechanically harvested leguminous crops is expected to enhance their introduction in rotation systems leading to greater availability of local/regional protein supplements resulting in reduction of imports of animal protein supplements. The D value of the other leguminous grains ranged from 86 to 89%, and were close to that of soybean meal (88%). The higher D value of chickpeas and peas than the other leguminous grains may be explained by their higher fat and lower ash content, respectively. www.cipav.org.co /lrrd/lrrd13/6/hadj136.htm   (1650 words)

Release of Nitrogen From a Leguminous Cover Crop and the Subsequent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Leguminous cover crops begin to release nitrogen to the soil once they are incorporated into the soil and adequate water is available for microbial decomposition of the plant tissue. The amount of nitrogen that is released from a productive cover crop can clearly be substantial, however the rate of release of nitrogen and the duration of the release is not well understood. These results indicate that the nitrogen released from a leguminous cover crop such as vetch can provide significant amounts of nitrogen for subsequent vegetable crop production, however long-season, high-nitrogen demanding crops such as bell peppers may need supplemental applications of late season fertilizer for optimal growth. www.sarep.ucdavis.edu /ccrop/ccres/1996/2.HTM   (440 words)

An Agricultural Testament - Albert Howard - 6 After the role of the nodules on the roots of leguminous plants in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen was proved, the problems of green-manuring naturally centred round the utilization of the leguminous crop in adding to the store of combined nitrogen and organic matter in the soil. At the expenditure of a little trouble, the leguminous nodule might be used as a nitrogen factory while the remainder of the crop could provide humus. Heavy crops of sugar-cane were produced at Shahjahanpur in the United Provinces by intercepting the nitrates accumulated at the break of the south-west monsoon by means of a leguminous crop and then converting this into humus with the assistance of the autumn accumulation of nitrate in the same soil. www.journeytoforever.org /farm_library/howardAT/AT6.html   (2917 words)

SARE Reporting System: SW97-011: 1997 Annual Report The mixture of hairy vetch and rye cover crop planted to the soil after a crop of winter wheat did not affect the amount of soil available N or the succeeding cucumber or potato yield. Regulatory solutions of imposing a tax on N fertilizer, as some studies suggested, may not be necessary if the use of mixed leguminous and non-leguminous cover cropping systems is implemented on a large scale. Farmers are paying more attention to the potential benefits of this mixed leguminous and non-leguminous cover cropping system and would be willing to adopt it if we can prove to them that it is cost effective to use this cover cropping practice. www.sare.org /reporting/report_viewer.asp?pn=SW97-011&ry=1997&rf=0   (1279 words)

Cover Crops - Leguminous Cover Plant, Mucuna bracteata, Mucuna, Mucuna Network, Seeds and Talk Cover Crops (Kancagan) are established and maintained in rubber and oil palm plantations for conserving the soil and for improving or maintaining the soil structure and fertility. Cover crops are leguminous creepers, which are easy to establish. They are the most desirable species of plants that can be used as ground covers in rubber and oil palm plantations, because they have the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen which can later be used by the immature rubber and oil palm plants, besides the other characters common to all cover plants. www.covercrops.org   (636 words)

[No title] The diffusion of high quality seeds and pest resistant varieties can also increase the market value of crops and hence generate more incomes for farmers. The contribution of biodiversity through the development, diffusion and adoption of cereal and leguminous varieties will require a motivationg policy and institutional environment which includes access to reliable input and output markets and mainly seed supply, a sound and participatory coordination between research, extension and farmers. The committment of government, NGOs, private business, farmers and other stakeholders will be an incentive for a sustained contribution of biodiversity to food security and poverty reduction in West Africa. www.unu.edu /env/plec/cbd/abstracts/Djinadou.doc   (241 words)
