  1. 1. N2 fixation of three legume species in an agroforestry system

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Hsiang-Ju Fan; [2023]
    Keywords : nitrogen; dinitrogen fixation; legumes; groundnut; stylo; pinto peanut; understorey crop;

    Abstract : Due to the strong soil erosion caused by agricultural activities and sloping landscape, agroforestry has been introduced as a potentially sustainable cropping practice in the mountainous NW Vietnam. Using legumes as understorey crops in these systems has a potential to limit erosion and smother weeds, as well as provide additional nitrogen (N) to the system. READ MORE
