Alfalfa or lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage legume grown extensively in the world. There have been relatively few investigations on the adaptation of alfalfa to soils found in suitable eco-zones in Africa. In the present investigations, twenty accessions were evaluated for tole...

Sesbania have multifarious utilization, and in many instances growth rate is one of the most important criteria for the selection of suitable Sesbania. This paper reports results of a study on the growth rates of Sesbania on two acid soils both low in available P, but one with toxic levels of Al....

Although lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) is grown in many parts of Africa relatively little investigation has been done on its adaptation to acid soils, which are generally low in available In the present study, lablab was evaluated for tolerance to acidity and low available P on two Ethiopian soils...

Sesbania, particularly S. sesban species, grow naturally in many parts of Africa where they form natural browse. Productivity of Sesbania as animal feed is widely limited by soil acidity and low In this study, eighteen ILCA accessions of S. sesban and two of S. goetzei, all but two from Africa, w...
