The effect of alley cropping with seven combinations of Acioa and Leucaena hedgerows and a control (no hedgerow) treatment on sequentially cropped maize and cowpea was studied in 1985 and 1986. The trial was carried out on an Alfisol in the humid zone of southwestern Nigeria. Hedgerows were estab...
This work determined the inter-relationships between constituents, rumen dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) degradabilities of fresh leaves from 20 multipurpose tree (MPTs) accessions belonging to the following genera: Acacia(2), Cajanus (2), Chamaecytisus (2), Erythrina (2), Leucaena (8) and Sesba...

This study evaluates the differences in the gas produced by Sesbania accessions and related gas production to macro-constituents and tannin content of the browse species. Fresh samples were incubated in triplicate in a medium prepared from sieved rumen liquor harvested from two rumen-fistulated c...

The rumen degradation and gas production characteristics (methane, carbondioxide) of leaves of 20 accessions of multipurpose trees (MPTs) from six genera: Acacia, Cajanus, Chamaecytisus Link, Erythrina, Leaucaena and Sesbania and some poisonous plants were investigated in vitro and in sacco in ru...

The effects of Leucaena leucocephala and L. pallida prunings and cattle manure on maize nutrient uptake and yield were investigated in a hedgerow inter-cropping trial in the Ethiopian highlands. Hedgerow inter-cropping (also called alley cropping) is an agroforestry system in which trees are grow...
