Nodulation and N2-fixation byInga jinicuil, a woody legume in coffee plantations
Tóm tắt
Nodule biomass and yearly C2H2 reduction rates are reported forInga jinicuil, a leguminous tree used for shade in Mexican coffee plantations. Annual fixation by this species approximates 35 kg ha−1; which, when compared to nitrogen additions from fertilizers, represents an important nitrogen input to the coffee ecosystem.
