Abstract
SUMMARY: Yields of pearl millet were significantly increased when grown after legume crops such as groundnut (22·6%), cowpea (24·2%) or pigeonpea (12·1%) instead of after pearl millet. A previous crop of short-duration mung did not affect the yield of pearl millet. Benefits from previous crops of groundnut and cowpea were equivalent to about 60 kg N/ha applied to a pearl millet crop following a previous crop of pearl millet.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
