Abstract

---

The performance of three green manure plant species viz., Sesbania aculeala, S. rostrata and Cyamopsis lelragonoloba was studied at different growth stages under field conditions. An the green manures upto 45 days of growth produced shoot dry biomass and shoot nitrogen contents similar to plants grown for upto 60 days. S. roslrala was found superior to other species in terms of biomass production and nitrogen contribution.
