Nitrogen value of prunnings of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) deWit, Senna siamea (Lam.) Irwin & Barneby and Enterolopium cyclocarpum (Jacq.) Griseb.

Increasing pressure on land has led to development of many farming techniques for improved crop prooduction and yield. Plant prunning, an organic source of nitrogen for plant growth (Mund et al. 2016) has ben identified as a good alternative to inorganic fertiliser. Therefore, we investigated the use of pruning of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) deWit, Senna siamea (Lam.) Irwin & Barneby and Enterolopium cyclocarpum (Jacq.) Griseb. (Fig. 1) as nitrogen source for the growth of maize.
