Leguminous shrubby species Tephrosia vogelii, Tephrosia sinapou and Crotalaria grahamiana are little known at Brazil, and as well as Cajanus cajan (pigeon pea), show potential for green manuring. Two experiments were conducted at Field conditions: the first one aimed to evaluate the growth of Tephrosia vogelii during 360 days, measuring its phenological characteristics and its agronomic performance as green manure. The second one aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of Tephrosia vogelii, Tephrosia sinapou, Crotalaria grahamiana and Cajanus cajan. The first experiment was conducted in 2010, at Agroecological Farm, and the second one was conducted between October of 2012 and May of 2013, at Experimental Field of Embrapa Agrobiology, both placed at Serop?dica, Fluminense Lowland. At the first one, the experimental design was of randomized blocks, with four replications. The treatments consisted of 12 mensal samplings, with the evaluations of: plants height, stalk diameter, leaf area, amount of fresh and dry matter in different plant parts, nitrogen content and total amount in the shoot. At the second experiment, it was adopted the experimental design of randomized blocks, with four replications, to evaluate the agronomic performance of the four leguminous species, in relation to plants growth. The evaluated plant parameters were: plants height, stalk diameter, amount of fresh and dry matter, nutrient contents and amounts of macronutrients in the shoot, amount of litter deposited by the evaluated species, and weeds control. In the first experiment, 12 months after sowing Tephrosia vogelii, its plants presented 200 cm of height, 11.2 Mg ha-1 of shoot dry matter, with a ratio stalk/leaf 4, besides a total amount of 192 kg ha-1 of N, in the shoot. In the second experiment, at 210 days after sowing, the evaluated species presented mean values of 180 cm of height, 9.7 Mg ha-1 of shoot dry matter and e 151 kg ha-1 of N. Cajanus cajan deposited around 4.8 Mg ha-1 of dry matter of litter, and Tephrosia vogelii promoted lower suppression of weeds. Both evaluated species of Tephrosia and Crotalaria grahamiana presented desirable characteristics for green manuring, similarly to Cajanus cajan, at conditions of climate and soil of Fluminense Lowland. / A aduba??o verde com esp?cies leguminosas ? uma t?cnica que possibilita melhorias nas caracter?sticas do solo, conservando-o e reduzindo a necessidade de ingresso de nitrog?nio sint?tico industrial ?s unidades de produ??o. As esp?cies leguminosas arbustivas Tephrosia vogelii, Tephrosia sinapou e Crotalaria grahamiana s?o pouco conhecidas no Brasil, e assim como o Cajanus cajan (guandu), apresentam potencial para aduba??o verde. Foram conduzidos dois trabalhos experimentais sob condi??es de campo: o primeiro trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o crescimento de Tephrosia vogelii ao longo de 360 dias, para aferir suas caracter?sticas fenol?gicas e o seu potencial agron?mico como adubo verde. J? o segundo experimento objetivou avaliar o desempenho agron?mico desta esp?cie e de Tephrosia sinapou, Crotalaria grahamiana e Cajanus cajan. O primeiro experimento foi conduzido no ano de 2010 na Fazendinha Agroecol?gica do Km 47 e o segundo foi conduzido entre outubro de 2012 e maio de 2013, no Campo Experimental da Embrapa Agrobiologia, ambos localizados em Serop?dica, Baixada Fluminense. No primeiro, o delineamento experimental adotado foi de blocos casualisados, com quatro repeti??es. Os tratamentos foram formados de 12 coletas mensais, em que se avaliou: a altura das plantas, o di?metro do caule, ?rea foliar, quantidade de mat?ria fresca e seca em diferentes partes das plantas, teor e quantidade de nitrog?nio (N) na parte a?rea das plantas. No segundo experimento foi adotado um delineamento experimental de blocos casualisados com quatro repeti??es, avaliando-se o desempenho das quatro esp?cies quanto ao crescimento das plantas, tendo como par?metros a altura e o di?metro do caule, a quantidade acumulada de mat?ria seca a?rea, os teores e acumula??o de macronutrientes na parte a?rea, a quantidade de serrapilheira depositada pelas esp?cies e a capacidade de supress?o de esp?cies de ocorr?ncia espont?nea. No primeiro experimento, ao final de 12 meses ap?s a semeadura as plantas de Tephrosia vogelii apresentaram 200 cm de altura, 11,2 Mg ha-1 de mat?ria seca a?rea com uma rela??o caule/folha 4, al?m de uma acumula??o total de N na parte a?rea de 192 kg ha-1. No segundo experimento, aos 210 dias ap?s a semeadura, as esp?cies apresentaram, em valores m?dios, 180 cm de altura, 9,7 Mg ha-1 de mat?ria seca a?rea e 151 kg ha-1 de N. Destaca-se que Cajanus cajan depositou cerca de 4,8 Mg ha-1 de mat?ria seca de serrapilheira, e sob a copa de Tephrosia vogelii observou-se menor controle da ocorr?ncia de esp?cies da vegeta??o espont?nea. Conclui-se que as duas esp?cies do g?nero Tephrosia e Crotalaria grahamiana estudadas apresentaram caracter?sticas desej?veis para inclus?o como adubos verdes, compar?veis a Cajanus cajan, quando avaliadas nas condi??es edafoclim?ticas da Baixada Fluminense.
