Presents results of a study conducted at Debre Zeit, Ethiopia, to examine the differences in mineral composition, root N contents and their rates of transformation in the soil of different species of four genera of forage legumes, viz, Trifolium, Lablab, Medicago and Vicia. Also examines the effe...

Alfalfa or lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage legume grown extensively in the world. There have been relatively few investigations on the adaptation of alfalfa to soils found in suitable eco-zones in Africa. In the present investigations, twenty accessions were evaluated for tole...

Tolerance of Medicago sativa L. to aluminium and low phosphorus in soils and nutrient solutions]Screening forage and browse legumes germplasm to nutrient stress: I. Tolerance of Medicago sativa L. to aluminium and low phosphorus in soils and nutrient solutions

Sesbania have multifarious utilization, and in many instances growth rate is one of the most important criteria for the selection of suitable Sesbania. This paper reports results of a study on the growth rates of Sesbania on two acid soils both low in available P, but one with toxic levels of Al....

Although lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) is grown in many parts of Africa relatively little investigation has been done on its adaptation to acid soils, which are generally low in available In the present study, lablab was evaluated for tolerance to acidity and low available P on two Ethiopian soils...

This document starts by describing the five main agroecological zones of sub-Saharan Africa, viz, arid, semi-arid, subhumid, humid, and highland, and summarising population and agricultural production. Then it goes to the main topics that includes inter cropping systems; criteria for evaluating t...

This document gives detailed step by step information on minium data sets collection procedures for the maize/vetch intercropping trial conducted at the Debre Zeit Expeiment Station in the Ethiopian highlands. Details are given on soil characterization, plot layout, initial condition soil samplin...

Procedures for collecting minimum data sets

Although the majority of soils in Africa are P deficient, the high cost of conventional water-soluble P fertilizers limits their use by resource-poor farmers. Rockphosphates are a low-cost alternative. The effect of Egyptian rockphosphate (ERP) from two sources, applied at 50 kg P ha-1, on annual...

Poor drainage of Vertisols and nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deficiencies are some if the major constraints to food and feed production in the Ethiopian highlands. The effects of soil drainage and P supply on N fixation by annual trifolium species and their residual value to succeeding crops wa...

Sesbania, particularly S. sesban species, grow naturally in many parts of Africa where they form natural browse. Productivity of Sesbania as animal feed is widely limited by soil acidity and low In this study, eighteen ILCA accessions of S. sesban and two of S. goetzei, all but two from Africa, w...
