This study examines relay-cropped mucuna and lablab as alternatives to fallowing in a maize-common bean intercrop system. The maize grain yield was greater after planting mucuna than lablab even when some of the fodder is used as livestock feed.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightIntegrated crop managementGreen manure cropsSoil organic matterAgricultureSoil fertilityLegume fodderMaize-bean intercropMucunaLablabNorthwestern kenyaField ScaleAbstractCopyright 2006 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
