Mixed cropping
N cycle in semi-natural grasslnand
Chemical fertilizer is limited in Africa especially for small folders. As a substitute for chemicals legume plant have been used for long time. Legume supply nitrogen by biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). Moreover Mixed cropping may diversify soil microbial communities due to the different crops’ root-root interaction. Thus, mixed cropping system can be a tool more than just providing the fixed-N to maize.
