      abstract = {The effect of phosphorus rate on plant height, biomass  yield and nodulation of green manure crops was  investigated. Seven green manure species viz. Sesbania  rostrata, Sesbania aculeata, Crotalaria juncea, Vigna  unguiculata, Phaseolus mungo, Vigna radiata and Glycine max  and three phosphorus rates viz. 18, 27 and 36 kg P ha-1  were used. Plant height was different for each green manure  crops during the growth period though phosphorus  fertilization had no significant effect on plant height and  biomass yield. On the other hand, phosphorus fertilization  had significant effect on nodulation of green manure crops.  The number of nodules plant-1 increased significantly with  the age of the plants up to 60 days after sowing (DAS) and  thereafter declined sharply at 75 DAS. The highest number  of nodules plant-1 was produced at 36 kg P ha-1 followed by  27 kg P ha-1. The lowest number of nodules plant-1 was  produced at 18 kg P ha-1.},
