Fodder tree legumes are valuable sources of high quality feed in the dry season when pasture productivity can be low and of poor quality. To ensure sustained fodder availability from Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit and Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp in the dry season (November-February) the b...

The aim of the research reported here was to compare the early growth and nodulation of Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium, grown in pots containing soils of differing fertility obtained from alley farms. The plants' response to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers and to inoculation with...

Previous economic analysis found alley cropping more profitable than coventional farming. One study that also compared alley farming with small ruminants found it less profitable than alley cropping. The present study shows, on the basis of more recent experimental data, that crop response to mul...
