The highest percentage of N was observed under herbicide treatment and mulching with hay resulted in highest leaf P, K, Ca and Mg contents. Clean cultivation treatment resulted in the lowest N content of leaf, whereas lowest P content was recorded under clean cultivation and green manuring with cowpea treatments. Intercropping with soybean resulted in the lowest K, Ca and Mg contents of the leaf.
