Incorporating vegetal organic matter into the soil releases nutrients and increases its contents in organic matter, which can provide higher soil productivity and lower susceptibility to compaction. Acacia is an invasive plant in Portugal, and the huge seed bank incorporated into the soil every year is problematic for their dissemination. Suppose the green pods can have a sustainable use contributing to soil fertility. In that case, it will be possible to reduce this seed bank and contribute to delaying the proliferation of this species. In this work, the value, and mineral elements contents of Acacia pycnantha, A. retinodes and A. longifolia green pods were evaluated concerning their potential use as soil fertilizers.
