The results revealed that legume green manuring generally increased crop yield considerably. An equivalent of 50-100 kg N/ha in rice and 30-60 kg N/ha in maize as inorganic fertilizer was obtained with green manuring. N from ipil-ipil leaves gave rice, corn, sorghum and cassava yields comparable to chemical fertilizer N. Fast decomposition and N release from legume green manure and build up of soil fertility have been reported.
