Organic resources are important for nutrient availability and maintenance of soil organic matter. Sustaining fertility of arid soils necessitates increasing inputs of organic residues. Two experiments with water hyacinth were carried out to monitor (in the first field; study with litter bags) decomposition and changes in N, P, K, Ca and Mg as influenced by method of application where, in the second (greenhouse study) short-term effect on some properties of a sandy soil and early establishment of fodder sorghum (Sorghum bicolor).
