Implications of Residue Quantity and Quality on Rotational Maize Productivity

Retaining crop residues in fields is a pathway to build SOM on smallholder farmers. The quality of crop residues can be improved through integrating more legume residues. This experiment assess the effect of legume residues from a doubled up system as compared to maize residues on rotational maize and N dynamics in the short term. In the long term, this can increase both quantity and quality of SOM
