“…Mucuna and Canavalia were evaluated by [41] under maize and competed fairly well with other common organics Leucaena, Tithonia and Calliandra. In a participatory demonstration plot with maize in Uganda, [42] noted good farmers' ranking in the order Canavalia > Crotalaria > Mucuna.…”

The aim of this study was to establish the nutrient release potential of different organic materials and assess their role in integrated soil fertility management for coffee using the new coffee yield model SAFERNAC. It involved an incubation experiment conducted at TaCRI Lyamungu Screenhouse for 180 days between April and September 2011. Cattle manure, coffee leaves, pulp and husks, Albizzia leaves and four green manure plants -Mucuna pruriens, Lupinus albus, Canavalia ensiformis and Crotalaria ochroleuca were mixed with two soil types -Eutric Nitisols from Lyamungu, Hai district and Humi-Umbric Acrisols from Yoghoi, Lushoto district. The mixing ratio was 5% organic to soil, the mixture was moistened to FC and incubated in 10 litre plastic containers arranged in RCBD (10 treatments and 3 replications) at room temperature. Duplicate soil samples were taken at day 0, 3, 8, 15, 26, 45, 74, 112 and 180 and analyzed for NH 4 + -N, NO 3 -N, available P and exchangeable K. The cumulative N min , P and K values resulting from the treatments were used to estimate their relative contribution to the soil nutrient pool and

“…C. grahamiana is already exploited as a green manure in many African countries. However, acceptance of C. grahamiana was hampered by its susceptibility to pest attack, which farmers perceive as infesting their leafy crops (Tumuhairwe et al, 2007). Thus PCO points to the variables as the most responsible for giving that pattern of relationships among these accessions.…”

Numerical analyses of 58 morphological characters of 12 accessions belonging to Crotalaria were carried out by calculating similarity coefficients followed by cluster analysis, construction of dendrograms and PCO for visual appreciation of taxonomic relationship within this genus. The Jaccard's similarity coefficient varied between 0.738 and 0.998 and Nei's and Lei's similarity coefficient ranged between 0.870 and 0.998, indicating closer relationships between the species selected. Among the 12 accessions C. verrucosa RHT56078 was suggested as a better alternative green manure due to its less susceptibility to pests and closer relationship with C.juncea. The present phenetic study had also picked out phylogenetically important characters for species identification within the genus and had also posed a resolved phylogenetic tree of evolutionary significance.
