  abstract = {{T}he stem-nodulating tropical legume, #{S}esbania rostrata$, was grown for seven consecutive years for 35-42 days in the pre-rice niche of traditional {C}asamance (south {S}enegal) rainfed lowland fields under the management of both researchers and farmers. {T}he incorporation of about 25-35 {M}g/ha of fresh green manure ({GM}) biomass resulted in an average {N} accumulation of 90-150 kg {N}/ha. {L}owland rice-grain yields increased from 2 {M}g/ha in weedy fallow control plots to about 4 {M}g/ha where seed-inoculated #{S}. rostrata$ was incorporated. #{S}esbania rostrata$ {GM} technology may contribute to increase rice production in casamance and warrants to be extended to regions with similar conditions.
