Virupax C. Baligar, Marshall K. Elson, Zhenli L. He, Yuncong Li, Arlicelio de Q. Paiva, Dario Ahnert & Alex-Alan F. Almeida · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2018

Crotalarias are tropical legumes grown as cover crops or green manure crops to improve soil fertility and reduce soil degradation. As understory plants in plantation crop systems, these cover crops receive elevated levels of [CO2] and low irradiance. A greenhouse experiment was c...

Ambient and Elevated Carbon Dioxide on Growth, Physiological and Nutrient Uptake Parameters of Perennial Leguminous Cover Crops under Low Light Intensities

Virupax C. Baligar, Marshall Elson, Zhenli L. He, Yuncong Li, Arlicelio de Q. Paiva, Dario Ahnert, Alex-Alan F. Almeida & Nand K. Fageria · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2017

Adaptability and optimum growth of cover crops in plantation crops is affected by the inherent nature of the cover crop species and the light intensity at canopy levels. Globally concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are increasing and this creates higher photosynthesis and nutrient...
