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)
