The dry matter yield, nutritive value and persistence of three legume species (Stylosanthes hamata Taub., S. capitata Vog. and Centrosema pascuorum Mart. ex. Benth.) cut at different frequencies during the growing season or only once at the end of the growing season were compared. The shorter cut...

This paper examines one instance in tropical West Africa where Development agents encouraged ley farming as a means of intensifying crop-livestock interactions and improving human welfare without adverse effects on the environment. The response of the farmer to the technology has been mixed. Adop...

Land use in the subhumid zone (SHZ) of Nigeria is rapidly changing as a result of increasing influx of both arable farmers and pastoralists from areas of high density in the country. Because land is owned by arable farming communities, traditional grazing lands tend to be heavily pressurized by ...
