Nitrogen contribution through Sesbania green manure and dual-purpose legumes in maize–wheat cropping system: agronomic and economic considerations (2009, background): “Losses of N are much higher from urea fertilizer than from legume residues and green manure (Jensen and Hauggaard-Nielsen 2003).”
Prospects and problems of simple linear models for estimating symbiotic N2 fixation by crop and pasture legumes (2010, background): “While fertiliser use has substituted for much biological N2 fixation in agriculture (Jensen and Hauggaard-Nielsen 2003), the current global high price for N fertiliser and a lower greenhouse gas footprint for legume N are likely to maintain interest in legume N2 fixation (Crews and Peoples 2004).”
Peanut plant growth and yield as influenced by co-inoculation with Bradyrhizobium and some rhizo-microorganisms under sandy loam soil conditions (2011, background): “Numerous publications have indicated the necessity of legume inoculation with effective and efficient rhizobial strains, especially when the soil is void of the specific Rhizobium agents (Jensen and Hauggaard, 2003; Kandil et al., 2008; Verma et al., 2010).”
Digging deeper: A holistic perspective of factors affecting soil organic carbon sequestration in agroecosystems (2018, unknown): “Considerable progress has been made in measurements and monitoring (Chatterjee, Lal, Shrestha, & Ussiri, 2009; Wielopol- ski, Chatterjee, Mitra, & Lal, 2011) and in elemental analytical tech- niques (Jimenez & Ladha, 1993).”
Nitrogen dynamics following grain legumes and subsequent catch crops and the effects on succeeding cereal crops (2009, background): “farming systems, atmospheric N inputs through N2-fixation and recycling of N-rich residues are important to maintain soil fertility (Jensen 1994a; Jensen and Hauggaard-Nielsen 2003 ).”
Legumes in the reclamation of marginal soils, from cultivar and inoculant selection to transgenic approaches (2011, background): “Intercropping can also reduce pests and diseases as well as the use of fertilizers and pesticides (Jensen and Hauggaard-Nielsen 2003).”
Break crops and rotations for wheat (2015, unknown): “(Jensen and Hauggaard-Nielsen 2003), for example, by alternating the spatial pattern of dissimilar species in successive seasons.”
