Forage plant evaluation is carried out by many institutions throughout sub-Saharan Africa. However, the approach adopted at various locations varies. This manual outlines standard evaluation methodology, which will enable researchers throughout the region to obtain meaningful results from their f...

Looks into ILCA'S genebank which has a collection of over 9000 accessions of forage germplasm of grasses, legumes and browse. The majority of accessions are stored by conventional methods of seed storage confirming to international standards as far as possible. However, there are some species of ...

Collection of Ethiopian forage germplasm at the International Livestock Centre for Africa
The reproductive mechanism of forage species determines procedures for seed production and isolation distances needed to obtain uncontaminated seed from cultivars and genotypes so that they remain genetically true to type. A large number of tropical forage species has been identified as being pot...
Looks into ILCA's forage germplasm collection, characterization and initial evaluation and storage. Quantifies the genera, species and accessions of browse, grasses and legumes germplasm available in the ILCA genebank.

Research at ILRI has shown the value of incorporating forages and fodder species into sustainable farming systems, but the lack of available seed of adapted forage materials remains a major constraint to their adoption by smallholder farmers. Technical knowledge, access to seed, and economic ince...
Filed samples and seedlings of 51 leguminous forage species were tested for alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) in routine monitoring of seed multiplication fields of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Ethiopia. The virus was detected in 24 species and a solanaceous weed Solanum nigrum...
