Growth parameters and dry-matter yield of Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were evaluated for adaptability and response to various nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) combinations. N and P fertilisation significantly increased canopy height, growth rate, number of primary branches per plant,...

The use of Laeucaena species in the African smallholder farming systems is reviewed. A wide range of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. cultivars from a wide range of seed sources have been in use principally for soil fertility amelioration, fuelwood and fodder. With the advent of the leucaena ...
