A new variety of Centrosema macrocarpum is described. It occurs only in Colombia, mainly an intermediate altitudes (1000-2000 m) in the Andes and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Diagnostic features of the variety are the reddish colour of young leaves, the purple-violaceous colour of the coroll...

In order to contribute to improved utilisation of herbaceous legumes, in particular Centrosema macrocarpum and Stylosanthes guianensis for crop-livestock systems, the present study explored a number of management options to improve the effect of legumes on subsequent maize yield. The objectives o...

Adaptation of Centrosema to an acid Ultisol (pH 4.1, 89% Al saturation), was assessed using a collection of 133 accessions representing 12 species, in a preliminary evaluation trial conducted at Santander de Quilichao, Colombia. On the basis of vigour ratings over a period of 21 months, the teste...
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...
