Foliage Residue Decomposition and Nutrient Release in Peach Palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) Plantations for Heart‐of‐Palm Production in Costa Rica

Soto, G., Luna‐Orea, P., Wagger, M. G., Smyth, T. J., & Alvarado, A. (2005, September 1). Agronomy Journal.

By: G. Soto *, P. Luna‐Orea n, M. Wagger n, T. Smyth n & A. Alvarado *

topics (OpenAlex): Banana Cultivation and Research; Growth and nutrition in plants; Cassava research and cyanide
TL;DR: The relatively rapid decomposition and nutrient release rates would seem to be ideal for this perennial cropping system where plants are continuously absorbing nutrients during the year to support the growth of offshoots that eventually become harvestable stems. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 article

Residue Decomposition and Nutrient Release Dynamics from Two Tropical Forage Legumes in a Kenyan Environment

Njunie, M. N., Wagger, M. G., & Luna‐Orea, P. (2004, July 1). Agronomy Journal.

By: M. Njunie*, M. Wagger n & P. Luna‐Orea n

topics (OpenAlex): Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems; Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis; Agriculture and Rural Development Research
TL;DR: Clitoria and dolichos showed their potential to become sources of nutrients for associated crops while protecting the soil surface and asymptotic models provided the best fit for both dry matter decomposition and nutrient release. (via Semantic Scholar)
