P. da aImportance of Pueraria phaseoloides for the N cycle in tropical tree production. aIn: GERMAN-BRAZILIAN WORKSHOP ON NEOTROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS, 2000, Hamburg. Programa and abstracts... Hamburg: Universityc2000 ap. 184. aThe objective of this study was to analyse the biomass production and nutrition of pueraria as a cover crop grown in three different agroforestry systems (System 1: cupuacu, pupunha (peach palm), and seringueira (rubber tree); System 2: cupuacu, pupunha and urucu (annatto); System 3: cupuacu, seringueira, coco and citrus) at two levels of fertilisation, and its potential to contribute to the N stocks of the cropping system by biological N2 fixation, in Manaus-AM (Brasil). The larger nutrient uptake and return through litter indicated a rapid nutrient cycling at the plant-topsoil interface thus reducing leaching and keeping nutrients in a vailable form. The considerable amount of biologically fixed N2 was a relevant and important addition to the N pool of the cropping systems. aFerralsols alegumes anitrogen fixation asoil conservation asoil fertility atropical rain forests aAdubação aBactris Gasipaes aBertholletia Excelsa aCastanha do Para aCitrus Sinensis aCobertura do Solo aCoco aCocos Nucifera aConservação do Solo aCupuaçu aFertilidade do Solo aFixação de Nitrogênio aFloresta Tropical Úmida aLaranja aLatossolo Amarelo aLeguminosa aPueraria Phaseoloides aPupunha aTheobroma Grandiflorum aAmazonas aBixa orella aBrasil aCover plants aFertilizers application aManaus aUrucu1 aLEHMANN, J.
