A review on contribution of Leguminous Cover Crop (LCC) in cropping lands / Wan Nur Fatin Iezyan Wan Ilias
Legume cover crops (LCCs) are established and maintained in the plantations for conserving soil and improving soil structure and fertility. They are creepers, easy to establish and play important role in nitrogen (N) fixation by root nodulation. During N-fixation, the symbiosis occurs between legumi...
