Reports the work in progress at ILCA on appropriate methods of collecting Digitaria species and multiplying these former species and Leucaena leucocephala, Erythrina brucei and Sesbania sesban in vitro. Discusses their potential use in forage genetic resources. Discusses inoculation of stem cutti...
The genus Stylosanthes contains about 30 species of which most are native to South and Central America, except for S. erecta and S. fruticosa which are native to Africa. The seven major species that have been used as livestock feed have been widely collected and their germplasm stored in genebank...
Alternative techniques using in vitro culture have been successfully developed for the management of germplasm of Sesbania sesban. The results of a research at ILCA are presented. Techniques have successfully been developed for the initiation of cultures on Murashige and Skoog media, shoot propag...
Discusses tissue culture techniques used on some accessions of Cynodon and Digitaria at the Zwai seed multiplication site of ILCA for maintainance and distribution of germplasm. Presents data on the establishment survival and re-establishment of cultures.
ILCA adheres to the CGIAR policy on germplasm distribution and provides germplasm from its active colleciton free of charge to any bonafide forage worker. The selection of germplasm, preparation and distribution methods in use by the Forage Genetic Resources Unit at ILCA are discused.
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 ...
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.
The East African highlands face servere erosion problems, declining soil fertility and acute shortages of fodder and fuelwood. These problems are worsened by the region's rapid population growth, but may be reduced if leguminous trees are integrated into the farming systems. Adapted leucaena spec...
