Soil fertility depletion is a major constraint of smallholder farming in sub-Saharan Africa. We tested the aftereffects of green manures, namely vetch (Vicia sativa L.), lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus L.), and lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) incorporated into the soil compared to three fertilizer levels (0/0, 23/0, and 78/20 kg N/P ha
