AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · plausible
“Pigeonpea fallow improving subsequent maize yields via N-fixation and organic matter addition is well-documented in African smallholder agroecology literature; 55% over natural fallow is a credible magnitude.”
- soil-scientist · plausible
“Cajanus cajan improves soil N and organic matter via litterfall and N-fixation; 55% maize yield gains post-legume fallow in sub-Saharan Africa are well-documented in literature.”
