The samatic chromosome number in Sesbania in Sesbania sesban var. nubica, S. goetzei and S. keniensis (Leguminosae; papilionoidae) was found to be 2n=12. These findings were in agreement with earlier reports on S. sesban and S. keniensis. The chronomosome number 2n=12 is a new record for S. goetz...

Effects of concentrated sulphuric acid and hot water treatments on seedborne fungi and seed germination were studied using a seed lot of Stylosanthes hamata with heavy fungal infection. The effectiveness of the methods developed was further tested on S. guianensis, S. scabra and other lots of S. ...

The genus Leucaena is one of the most important sources of multipurpose trees and shrubs for use in farming systems in the African tropics and subtropics. In previous studies, Kashsay and Tothill (1995) identified the superior performance of Leucaena pallida and L. diversifolia as highly producti...

In most tropical countries poor nutrition limits ruminant productivity. The main feed resources include native pasture and crop residues, which are low in nitrogen (6.2-10.6 g/kg DM) and high in fibre (676-772 g/kg DM). Nutritional deficiencies of these feeds can be alleviated by supplementation ...

Conservation of germplasm has traditionally relied to a large extent on storage of seeds in genebanks. However, some forage species may take a long time to research maturity and produce seeds or, in the case of grasses, have inadequate production of seeds for collection, multiplication, dissemina...
