Abstract  

Because the use of Sesbania was restricted by altitude, 17 other indigenous trees, shrubs and crops were tested as suitable green manure crops in the irrigated rice fields of the title area. A brief summary of their distribution, nutrient content and future potential is presented. Data are tabulated.
