The use of Laeucaena species in the African smallholder farming systems is reviewed. A wide range of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. cultivars from a wide range of seed sources have been in use principally for soil fertility amelioration, fuelwood and fodder. With the advent of the leucaena ...
