Populations of Legume Nodulating Bacteria (LNB) were assessed under glasshouse conditions in soils collected from selected landuse systems in Taita Taveta district, Kenya. The populations were estimated by the most-probable-number (MPN) plant infection technique using Macroptilium atropurpureum (...

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...

A glasshouse experiment was conducted to determine how reduction conditions would affect plant nutrient availability and uptake in a red-yellow latosol (Acrustox). Soil analysis showed that the most important changes were a marked increase in extractable iron and an inhibition of nitrification. T...

This study evaluated the effects of improved tropical grass and grass–legume pastures on the physical condition of an oxisol, previously covered by native savanna. Two long-term pasture experiments with different grass and legume species and with different stocking rates were used. Measurements w...

A feeding trial with sheep was carried out at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) in Colombia to investigate the concept of using mixtures of sun-dried tropical shrub legumes to dilute tannin levels in the diet and improve nitrogen (N) utilisation by ruminants. Intake, digesti...
