In order to contribute to improved utilisation of herbaceous legumes, in particular Centrosema macrocarpum and Stylosanthes guianensis for crop-livestock systems, the present study explored a number of management options to improve the effect of legumes on subsequent maize yield. The objectives o...

The productivity and nutritive value of Chamaecrista rotundifolia cv. Wynn, Centrosema pascuorum cv. Cavalcade, Stylosanthes guianensis cv. Pucallpa and S. hamata cv. Verano as affected by single superphosphate fertilisation (SSP) and weed control were measured during the dry season in subhumid N...

The evaluation of Stylosanthes species has featured prominently in ILCA's forage evaluation programme in the subhumid zone of Nigeria. The evaluation of over 200 accessions within the genus using a series of evaluation stages ranging from small plot observation trials through to full-scale grazin...

Relative palatability and some agronomic traits were studied for nine legumes including Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema brasilianum (two accessions), Centrosema pascuorum, Chamaecrista rotundifolia, Stylosanthes guianensis (two accessions) and Stylosanthes hamata (two accessions). All species we...

Five accessions, comprising Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema acutifolium, Centrosema pascuorum and Stylosanthes guianensis together with Stylosanthes hamata cVerano were evaluated over 2 years for use in fodder banks in subhumid Nigeria. The most promising accession was A. histrix 112463 with yie...

Integration of forage legumes into traditional fallow management systems can help to improve both forage supply at a time of feed scarcity and soil fertility. At two sites in south-west Nigeria, 11 legume species with generally low nutrient requirements were evaluated on-station in a short-term l...
