“…Goméz et al (2013) reported that forage growth associated with forest species could be impaired or favored depending on factors such as tolerance to tree shading and competition between plants for water and soil nutrients. Additionally, as we found in this study, Souza et al (2017) pointed out that the forage biomass of buffel grass decreased with a high level of shading in a silvopastoral system.…”

Context. Introducing legumes into grass-based forage systems may increase herbage nutritive value while reducing the need for inorganic nitrogen fertilisation. Grass–legume intercrops may also enhance herbage yield stability.Aim. We evaluated agronomic and nutritional traits of elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus Schum.) genotypes grown as monocrops and mixed with butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.).Methods. Elephant grass genotypes, two tall (Elephant B and IRI-381) and two dwarf (Mott and Taiwan A-146 2.37), were grown as monocultures or intercropped with butterfly pea in a 2-year trial. Herbage accumulation, yield stability, botanical composition and chemical/bromatological variables were evaluated.Key results. Herbage accumulation was highest (P < 0.001) in Elephant B under monocropping (21.9 t/ha.year); however, this treatment revealed the lowest yield stability over harvest times (σi2 5.59). All intercrops were more stable than grass monocrops (mean σi2 0.66 vs 2.55). Higher (P < 0.001) concentrations of herbage crude protein were found in intercrops than monocrops (mean 113 vs 90 g/kg). Intercrop herbage lignin contents (mean 57 g/kg) and protein fraction C (mean 61 g/kg) were higher than those in monocrops. Dwarf Mott had higher (P = 0.001) digestible dry matter concentration than dwarf Taiwan (755 vs 745 g/kg).Conclusions. Dwarf Mott genotype has outstanding nutritive value because of its higher leaf:stem ratio. Butterfly pea legume added to elephant grass crop in cut-and-carry systems improves herbage yield stability by reducing seasonal effects.Implications. Intercropping butterfly pea in grass-based systems enhances yield stability, allowing herbage harvest with good nutritive value.

“…However, the diversity of this plant in North Maluku has unrecorded even though this legume group has many benefits. This plant has the ability to utilize nitrogen provided by bacteria in their nodule [2]. Legume roots develop the nodules that perform a beneficial symbiosis with N-fixing bacteria, particularly rhizobia [3].…”

The Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) is associated with the roots and nodules of butterfly peas (Clitoria ternatea L.). This study aims to explore the PGPR in the rhizosphere of butterfly peas and to study their potential for biofertilizer. Characterization of PGPR was based on their ability to phosphate dissolution, auxin production, and nitrogen fixation as well as synergistic and antagonistic tests, and molecular identification. A total of 11 phosphate solubilizing bacteria isolates were isolated from the rhizosphere of butterfly peas while two isolates were taken from nodules. The RTF2 isolate from the rhizosphere had the highest phosphate solubility index. Meanwhile, the RTDH5-1, F1.1, and F2.1 showed strong inhibition ability against the growth of the pathogenic Rhizoctonia solani. The nitrogenase activity of isolates F2.1 and F1.1 from nodules were 0.975 μmol mL-1 g-1 h-1; while the IAA production was 7.87 and 7.05 mg L-1, respectively. The F1.1 had 100% similarity with Bacillus aryabhattai while F2.1 was 99.84% similar with Rhizobium sp. Both isolates can be used in biofertilizer formulation for North Maluku butterfly peas.
