Poor nutrition because of poor quality feeds and fluctuating feed supply is a major constraint to tropical livestock productivity. The need to supply greater quantities of quality fodder requires development of both new forages and feeding strategies that will enhance the efficiency with which co...

The genus Stylosanthes contains about 30 species of which most are native to South and Central America, except for S. erecta and S. fruticosa which are native to Africa. The seven major species that have been used as livestock feed have been widely collected and their germplasm stored in genebank...

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...


Hanson, Jean[Management of Sesbania sesban germplasm using in vitro culture]Management of Sesbania sesban germplasm using in vitro culture

Discusses tissue culture techniques used on some accessions of Cynodon and Digitaria at the Zwai seed multiplication site of ILCA for maintainance and distribution of germplasm. Presents data on the establishment survival and re-establishment of cultures.

ILCA adheres to the CGIAR policy on germplasm distribution and provides germplasm from its active colleciton free of charge to any bonafide forage worker. The selection of germplasm, preparation and distribution methods in use by the Forage Genetic Resources Unit at ILCA are discused.


Hanson, Jean[Forage germplasm distribution by ILCA]Forage germplasm distribution by ILCA

Looks into ILCA'S genebank which has a collection of over 9000 accessions of forage germplasm of grasses, legumes and browse. The majority of accessions are stored by conventional methods of seed storage confirming to international standards as far as possible. However, there are some species of ...
