Its shade tolerance and persistence make it especially well suited to oil palm feeder roads and harvest paths, where it holds the verges and controls weeds along access routes. In a Nigerian green-manure screening it gave the second-highest effect among 12 legumes tested (Tropical Forages, CIAT and ILRI). We do not publish an annual nitrogen figure for this species: no single species-specific annual fixation rate is published from verified evidence (one Papua New Guinea oil palm study estimated 28 to 75% of its nitrogen from fixation; Pipai et al. 2023), and the fertiliser-nitrogen-equivalent value sometimes quoted for it carries no primary citation.
