Andersson, Meike S.Lascano, Carlos E.Schultze-Kraft, RainerPeters, Michael[Forage quality and tannin concentration and composition of a collection of the tropical shrub legumes Flemingia macrophylla]Forage quality and tannin concentration and composition of a collection of the tropical shrub legumes Flemingia macrophylla

Tropical forage grasses and legumes as key components of sustainable crop-livestock systems in Latin America and the Caribbean have major implications for improving food security, alleviating poverty, restoring degraded lands and mitigating climate change. Climate-smart tropical forage crops can ...


Rao, Idupulapati M.Peters, MichaelHoek, Rein van derCastro, A.Subbaraoa, Guntur V.Cadisch, GeorgRincón, A.[Tropical forage-based systems for climate-smart livestock production in Latin America]Tropical forage-based systems for climate-smart livestock production in Latin America

he aim of most publicly funded research and development of forages in the subtropics and tropics of the developing world is to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. In order to achieve this goal, technical options are sought which not only contribute to alleviation of poverty and improv...


Peters, MichaelLascano, Carlos E.Roothaert, R.Haan, Nicoline C. de[Linking research on forage germplasm to farmers: the pathway to increased adoption—a CIAT, ILRI and IITA perspective]Linking research on forage germplasm to farmers: the pathway to increased adoption—a CIAT, ILRI and IITA perspective

Intensification is a key strategy for smallholder farmers in Central America, and improved forages can play a significant role. To facilitate adoption of forages a spatial decision support system (SDSS) is under development to target forage species to particular biophysical, socio-economic and ma...

A short-term improved fallow system based on forage legumes is suggested for crop-livestock farming systems in subhumid West Africa targeted to enhance soil fertility and dry season feed for cattle. At two sites, 13 legume species were compared with the natural fallow vegetation, the nutritive va...

Establishment, herbage yield and nutritive value of legumes as dry season forage]Forage legumes for improved fallows in agropastoral systems of subhumid West Africa. I. Establishment, herbage yield and nutritive value of legumes as dry season forage

Five accessions, comprising Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema acutifolium, Centrosema pascuorum and Stylosanthes guianensis together with Stylosanthes hamata cVerano were evaluated over 2 years for use in fodder banks in subhumid Nigeria. The most promising accession was A. histrix 112463 with yie...

Accessions of Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema acutifolium, C. pascuorum, Stylosanthes guianensis and S. hamata]Evaluation of tropical pasture legumes for fodder banks in subhumid Nigeria. 2. Accessions of Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema acutifolium, C. pascuorum, Stylosanthes guianensis and S. hamata

A short-term improved fallow system based on forage legumes for enhancing crop and livestock components of mixed farming systems was tested in the subhumid zone of West Africa. As part of the evaluation, the ability of 11 legume species (Centrosema macrocarpum, C. pubescens, Stylosanthes guianens...

Green manure production and decomposition after incorporation into the soil]Forage legumes for improved fallows in agropastoral systems of subhumid West Africa. II. Green manure production and decomposition after incorporation into the soil

Lack of synchronization between N released from prunings applied to the soil as green manures and crop uptake as well as optimization of protein digestibility for ruminants, remain major research objectives for the selection of multipurpose tree and shrub legumes (MPT) for mixed smallholder syste...


Tscherning, KLascano, Carlos E.Barrios, E.Schultze-Kraft, RainerPeters, Michael[The effect of mixing prunings of two tropical shrub legumes (Calliandra houstoniana and Indigofera zollingeriana) with contrasting quality on N release in the soil and apparent N degradation in the rumen]The effect of mixing prunings of two tropical shrub legumes (Calliandra houstoniana and Indigofera zollingeriana) with contrasting quality on N release in the soil and apparent N degradation in the rumen

The tropical multipurpose shrub legume Cratylia argentea is well adapted to acid soils of low to medium fertility and has excellent drought-tolerance. Due to its high nutritive value it is particularly suited as forage for dry-season supplementation. A collection of 47 C. argentea accessions in a...
