Thirty-four Stylosanthes scabra, 20 S. guianensis and 66 S. hamata accessions were compared for biomass production on an acid soil in a medium-altitude subhumid environment in southern Ethiopia. Accessions S. scabra (ILCA 12555, 11625, 11599 and 11608), S. guianensis (ILCA 11737 and 11776) and S....
Alternative techniques using in vitro culture have been successfully developed for the management of germplasm of Sesbania sesban. The results of a research at ILCA are presented. Techniques have successfully been developed for the initiation of cultures on Murashige and Skoog media, shoot propag...

Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), the most important forage crop in East Africa, has recently been affected by a devastating disease named Napier Grass Stunt (NGS). A phytoplasma of group 16SrI has been associated with NGS in Kenya and Uganda, whereas in Ethiopia, group 16SrIII was previously ...
