Canavalia brasiliensis (canavalia), a drought tolerant legume, was introduced into the smallholder traditional crop-livestock production system of the Nicaraguan hillsides as green manure to improve soil fertility or as forage during the dry season for improving milk production. Since nitrogen (N...

Farm-scale tradeoffs between legume use as forage versus green manure: the case of Canavalia Brasiliensis
En Honduras y Nicaragua existen zonas caracterizadas por épocas secas prolongadas (4 a 8 meses) durante las cuales la oferta de forrajes es deficitaria y por el predominio de explotaciones ganaderas de pequeños propietarios en sistemas doble propósito (producción de leche y carne). El Centro Inte...

Estrategias para minimizar la escasez de forrajes en zonas con sequías prolongadas en Honduras y Nicaragua.
Multipurpose legumes provide a wide range of benefits to smallholder production systems in the tropics. The degree of system improvement after legume introduction depends largely on legume biomass production, which in turn depends on the legumes’ adaptation to environmental conditions. For Canava...

Identifying factors limiting legume biomass production in a heterogeneous on-farm environment
An inter-institutional and multi-disciplinary project to identify Brachiaria genotypes, which combine waterlogging tolerance with high forage yield and quality, for use in agricultural land in Latin America with poor drainage, is underway. The aim is to improve meat and milk production and mitiga...
