Evaluation of tropical pasture legumes for fodder banks in subhumid Nigeria. 2. Accessions of Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema acutifolium, C. pascuorum, Stylosanthes guianensis and S. hamata
Trials were conducted at 7 sites in northern Nigeria to identify forage legumes as alternatives to Stylosanthes hamata cVerano. Initial screening of 46 accessions at each site led to the identification of the best 8 for each site. These were then tested for 4 years, the first 2 with careful manag...

Dry season performance of four tropical pasture legumes in subhumid West Africa as influenced by superphosphate application and weed control
Crop residues from maize (Zea mays L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), millet (Pennisetum glaucum), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) are important livestock feed in the West African savannas particularly during the long dry season. The residues from cer...

Global poverty and food security challenges: The equity pillar
A short-term improved fallow system based on forage legumes for enhancing crop and livestock components of mixed farming systems was tested in the subhumid zone of West Africa. As part of the evaluation, the ability of 11 legume species (Centrosema macrocarpum, C. pubescens, Stylosanthes guianens...
