Examines the returns to labour from cropping fallowed land and land that has been used for stylosanthes fodder banks in the subhumid zone of Nigeria.
Outlines the principles and practices of fodder-bank establishment and management in the sub-humid zones of West Africa. Summarises data that indicate the benefit of fodder banks to subsequent crops.
To improve livestock productivity in sub-Saharan Africa sustainable solutions to seasonal deficiencies in feed availability and quality are required. Traditionally, livestock rearing has been the specialised vocation of nomadic and transhumant pastoralists and therefore, for a long time, technolo...
It has always been difficult to find forage legumes with the production characteristics that can help maximise animal performance, and that are also adapted to the alternating wet and dry seasons of the subhumid zone of africa. Among the characters in demand are drought tolerance, good herbage pr...
Evaluates the susceptibility of stylo to anthracnose on 17 Stylosanthes guianensis lines acquired from CIAT and on two reference materials Cook and Verano stylo. Describes the two experiment sites-Kaduna and Kacchia. Presents data on disease score and fungal types isolated from samples of screene...
This report is divided into seven sections. The first section deals with biology of Stylosanthes and its importance in West Africa and Latin America. The second section presents papers on the screening and evaluation of Stylosanthes germplasm. This includes genetic diversity, genetic resources, s...
An experiment conducted to study the nitrogen contribution from stylosanthes fodder banks of different ages to succeeding maize crops. Discusses the implications for the development of traditional agro-pastoral production systems.
Reports the response of two stylo cultivars, viz, stylosanthes hamata cv verano and stylosanthes guianensis cv cook to 'Kanwa' - a naturally occuring salt traditionally used as a cattle lick - but which shows the presence of various essential nutrients for plants. Discusses the implications to ag...
In the subhumid zone of Nigeria S. guianensis cv Cook, S. Guianensis cv Schofield and S. hamata cv Verano produced low dry matter yields. The role of P in limiting yields was investigated in a field experiment at Kurmin Biri, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Four levels of P<sub>2O<sub>5, zero, 40, 80 an...
