Leucaena leucocephala is an important agroforestry species pan-tropically, but relatively little is known of the forage production potential of other species in the genus. The agronomic potential of 116 accessions, represent ing the 28 species and subspecies of the Leucaena genus and several arti...

A series of grazed and cut experiments were conducted in Bali and North Sulawesi, Indonesia, between 1992 and 1994, to evaluate a range of selected forages for both intensive and extensive ruminant production under mature, tall coconuts. Yield, botanical composition and persistence of grass legum...

Livestock in south-east Asia are used for a wide variety of purposes. In many regions, there is an increasing demand for animal protein but, at the same time, increasing population pressure is pushing livestock on to more marginal lands. These marginal lands are generally uplands where soils are ...

In the past, adoption of forage technologies has been poor. This paper considers the reasons for this low level of adoption and how the situation has changed in recent years. Experiences, mostly in south-east Asia and some in east Africa, have shown that participatory approaches in the developmen...

Introduction of Stylosanthes species to south-east Asia commenced in 1949 and tended to follow the development of commercial cultivars in Australia. S. guianensis cultivars were introduced to humid and subhumid areas in Malaysia, Indonesia, southern Thailand, Philippines and China. S. humilis, S....
