Cutting sedge (Scleria pterota Presl.) is a common weed in pastures. It grows vigorously and forms patches in poorly drained soils and appears uniformly dispursed in pastures on rolling land. It is unpalatable to cattle and is extremely competitive with pasture species. It was found that both diu...

A collection of 64 accessions of the South American pasture legume Aeschynomene histrix Poiret was characterized in 1995 at Ibadan in south-west Nigeria in order to test the potential of the accessions as forage plants in subhumid areas and as a trap crop for the parasitic plant Striga hermonthic...

Arachis pintoi is a valuable forage legume for tropical savannas, persisting with vigorous tropical grasses under widely differing management systems. However, seed is expensive, so that vegetative planting is an option, particularly for small farmers. We studied the growth and development of A. ...

A short-term improved fallow system based on forage legumes is suggested for crop-livestock farming systems in subhumid West Africa targeted to enhance soil fertility and dry season feed for cattle. At two sites, 13 legume species were compared with the natural fallow vegetation, the nutritive va...

At the Colombian coffee growing area, between 1,000 and 2,000m elevation, experiments were carried out under field conditions on steep slopes at Romelia (2,500 mm rainfall and a Dystrandept type of soil), and at Supía (1,708 mm rainfall and a Eutrandept type of soil). The legumes (Centrosema macr...
