Micronutrient-efficient genotypes for crop yield and nutritional quality in sustainable agriculture. A review (2011, background): “Alvey et al. (2001) found that a legume rotation system was more effective in increasing the pH of the rhizosphere as compared to continuous sorghum cropping system.”
Assessment of cowpea and groundnut contributions to soil fertility and succeeding sorghum yields in the Guinean savannah zone of Burkina Faso (West Africa) (2006, background): “related to the legumes themselves (Chalk 1998), soil, and fertilizer N utilization (Alvey et al. 2001) can interact with these N effects.”
Phosphorus benefits from grain-legume crops to subsequent maize grown on acid soils of southern Cameroon (2006, background): “Among these effects are an improved P nutrition ( Alvey et al. 2001; Kamh et al. 2002; Nuruzzaman et al. 2005), the suppression of nematodes (Bagayoko et al. 2000), a more favourable microbial community in the rhizosphere (Bagayoko et al. 2000, Marschner et al. 2004), and a better root growth (Hors”
