The browse shrub Gliricidia sepium, introduced into the subhumid zone of Nigeria to serve as a supplementary-forage source for ruminant during the dry season, has the undesirable characteristic of shedding its leaves during its flowering phase which coincides with the early dry season. This repor...

The poor quality of the natural vegetation in the dry season affects both animal productivity and the lives of the pastoral community in the Adamawa Plateau of Cameroon but may be improved by introduction of the forage legume Stylosanthes guianensis. When used in a fodder bank system, Stylosanthe...

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the critical deficiency levels of potassium (K) in the subhumid zone soils for predicting response of a mixture of Andropogon gayanus and Stylosanthes hamata cVerano to K application. Twenty coarse textured soils, having loamy sand to sandy loam ...

Over a grazing period of about 14 weeks, comparisons were made between pasture improved with Stylosanthes hamata and that based on natural grassland. The grazing densities ranged from 2.11 to 4.23 TLU/ha (Tropical Livestock Unit = 250 kg liveweight). Both pastures were grazed in the previous wet ...
