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...

Forage germplasm at the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA): An essential resource for evaluation and selection
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...
