Legume biomass quantity requirement for maize production with reference tomucuna green manure in Kenya

摘要：

Mucuna p ruriens, a potential on‐farm legume source of nitrogen, has low biomass production that varies with agro‐ecological and niche conditions (Mureithi and Gitahi, 2004).This limits its capability to meet maize N requirement.The objective of this research was to determine effect of different application rates of mucuna green manure biomass on maize grain yield during application season.
