The use of legume-legume mixtures to alleviate limitations of individual species in legume based technologies was investigated in subhumid Nigeria. The results indicate the potential of legume mixtures, through processes of complementation and compensation, to reduce the risk of legume establishm...

Ensuring that farming in the moist savannas of Africa is maintained, despite increasing population pressure and agricultural demands, necessitates the sustainable integration of crop and livestock enterprises; a role that forage legumes can fulfill. The potential of eleven herbaceous and two shru...

Abstract]Optimising land productivity in crop-livestock systems by integrating legumes in the lowland moist savannas of West Africa. Abstract

Cowpea is important for the provision of both grain for food and fodder for livestock but there is often a trade-off between production of the two. To better understand influences on grain and fodder production, and how these may be utilized. Research was conducted at 5 locations in West Africa u...

Integration of forage legumes into traditional fallow management systems can help to improve both forage supply at a time of feed scarcity and soil fertility. At two sites in south-west Nigeria, 11 legume species with generally low nutrient requirements were evaluated on-station in a short-term l...
