Genetic management of the woody legumes Sesbania sesban in sub-Saharan Africa; implications from random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. Poster presentation
Research at ILRI has shown the value of incorporating forages and fodder species into sustainable farming systems, but the lack of available seed of adapted forage materials remains a major constraint to their adoption by smallholder farmers. Technical knowledge, access to seed, and economic ince...
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...
A tool for selecting forage species suitable for local conditions in the tropics and subtropics. Invaluable for agricultural researchers and extension officers involved in improving animal production. Allows you to identify forage species suitable for your climate, soils and production system; ac...

Filed samples and seedlings of 51 leguminous forage species were tested for alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) in routine monitoring of seed multiplication fields of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Ethiopia. The virus was detected in 24 species and a solanaceous weed Solanum nigrum...
