Chemical Studies of the Efficiency of Legumes as Green Manures in Hawaii

Abstract

Numerous varieties of legumes, both native and introduced, are found in Hawaii. The experiments herein reported upon were inaugurated in order to determine the comparative value for soil improvement of the different species and varieties of certain well-known field legumes and the more common legumes growing as weeds on these islands. The data presented in this bulletin represent the results of the first year's work along this line.
