Abstract
Sorghum growth and yield was studied when grown after (a) bushbean [Phaseolus vulgaris], (b) mungbean [Vigna radiata] or (c) soyabean, ploughed into the soil as green manures. Seedling emergence was earlier in (a) than in control but (b) and (c) had no effect. No treatment significantly affected the number of days to flowering or maturity, or LAI. Green manures increased plant ht. Grain yields were (a) 1.62, (b) 1.15 and (c) 2.13 t/ha compared with 2.32 t in the control. The results were compared with the response of sorghum to mineral fertilizers
