Datos clave
CARÁCTER VEGETAL
Trailing annual legume with creeping and twining growth. Establishes quickly, producing dense vegetative cover under rubber and coconut canopies. Adapts well to a range of tropical soil conditions.
USES
Nitrogen fixation, erosion control, soil cover, green manure, and weed suppression. Established as a basin legume in coconut systems, Calopogonium mucunoides contributes 27.21 kg of biomass and 186.5 g of nitrogen per basin (Thomas & Shantaram, 1993) — and alongside Pueraria javanica, can substitute up to 30% of nitrogen fertiliser requirements in adult coconut.
GROWTH HABIT
Rapid early establishment. Produces 10,773 kg of fresh biomass per hectare at 150 days in Philippine plantation trials. Decomposes at 95.61% within 3 months — making it one of the fastest nutrient-cycling cover crops available for tropical inter-row systems.
