Soil amelioration and root symbioses ofParkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Benth. in West Africa

Soil amelioration and root symbioses ofParkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Benth. in West Africa Parkia biglobosa is an important multipurpose tree from the savanna zone of West Africa. It has been reported to increase soil fertility and crop yields beneath its crown. However, no work has been conducted to determine the role of root symbioses in soil amelioration by this species. The existing reports of nodulation inParkia biglobosa are contradictory and the presence of mycorrhizae is not documented in the literature. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Agroforestry Systems Springer Journals

Abstract

Parkia biglobosa is an important multipurpose tree from the savanna zone of West Africa. It has been reported to increase soil fertility and crop yields beneath its crown. However, no work has been conducted to determine the role of root symbioses in soil amelioration by this species. The existing reports of nodulation inParkia biglobosa are contradictory and the presence of mycorrhizae is not documented in the literature.
