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...

Land-use intensification in the East-African highland zone is required for meeting food and feed demands from the rising human and animal populations. A single crop of wheat has been a traditional practice for the 8 Mha of Vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands with both grain and residues finding ...

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...

The dry matter production of 9 herbaceous legume species was evaluated over 3 years for their suitability as forage species in the subhumid regions of Uganda. Dry matter production of Centrosema pascuorum (6774), Chamaecrista rotundifolia (Wynn), Clitoria ternatea (9291), Macroptilium atropurpure...

Presents guidelines for the establishment & management of fodder banks, particularly selection of site, land preparation; sowing & presowing treatment of legumes, seedling establishment and early management. Lists 5 of the factors influencing productivity of fodder banks in the subhumid zone of N...
Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing substantial land degradaton and declining soil fertility. This has led to decreasing total agricultural productivity. Introducing forage legume rotations into crop-livestock systems can stabilise agricultural productivity. In addition to providing high-quality f...
