Biomass Production in Two Tropical Herbaceous Legumes as Influenced by the Structural Characteristics of Mine Spoil

The effect of structural characteristics of mine spoil was studied on biomass production of two tropical herbaceous legumes Stylosanthes hamata and Stylosanthes humilis. The structural variation had marked influence on biomass production. The ischolar_main, shoot and total biomass production was greater at less rocky spoil site than more rocky spoil site in both the leguminous species. However, the ischolar_main/shoot ratio was greater at more rocky spoil site than less rocky spoil site in both the species.

Abstract


The effect of structural characteristics of mine spoil was studied on biomass production of two tropical herbaceous legumes Stylosanthes hamata and Stylosanthes humilis. The structural variation had marked influence on biomass production. The ischolar_main, shoot and total biomass production was greater at less rocky spoil site than more rocky spoil site in both the leguminous species. However, the ischolar_main/shoot ratio was greater at more rocky spoil site than less rocky spoil site in both the species.
