Add to ORKGExperiments were conducted during 1996-1998 in screen house and in the field in the humid forest zone of Côte d'Ivoire, to evaluate the effects of phosphorus (P) from phosphate rock (PR) on the performance of the root nodulating legume Crotalaria micans grown for 8 weeks. The experimental soils were acid Ultisols with <4 mg/kg extractable Bray-1 P. Tilemsi PR from Mali and triple superphosphate (TSP) were applied at 60 kg P ha-1 (screen house) and 90 kg P ha-1 (field) to the legume. Legume N-fixed (BNF) was estimated by the 15N-isotope dilution and δ15N natural abundance methods, using Cassia obtusifolia L. as a non-fixing legume reference plant. Without P supply, and under the field conditions, C. micans produced less than 1 tonne of bioma...
