Growth parameters and dry-matter yield of Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were evaluated for adaptability and response to various nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) combinations. N and P fertilisation significantly increased canopy height, growth rate, number of primary branches per plant,...

Animal feed resources for small-scale livestock producers. Proceedings of the second PANESA workshop
Decreasing farm size and the opportunity to market livestock products has promoted the development of intensive production systems in East and souther Africa. This paper reviews the characteristics of the common feed resources used in small-scale intensive farming systems in eastern and southern ...
Africa's demand for food and Development means added pressure on natural resources that are already threatened. There is therefore, and urgent need for technical innovations that will raise productivity of livestosk and crops without causing further environmental degradation. But technical innova...
The Animal Production Systems Research (APSR) was introduced to sub-Saharan African National Agricultural Research Systems (NARs) in mid-1980's by the International Agricultural Research Centres (IARCs) and donors. APRS was accepted by NARs after realizing that the traditional on-station research...
