In Nigeria, researcher-managed and farmer-managed West African Dwarf goats were grazed on Stylosanthes hamata (stylo) fodder banks at stocking rates of 29, 43 and 57 goats/ha and 22-25, 42-43, 50-55 and 68-92 goats/ha, respectively. Extrusa samples were taken from oesophageally fistulated goats t...

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 ...

The fast depletion of available potassium (K) in soils of the subhumid zone (SHZ) of Nigeria has become a problem for the formulation of fertilizer recommendations, especially in the grass/legume mixtures of the fodder bank system. Five different K fertilizer recommendation models viz. Control, C...

During the 1980s the management and nutrient requirements of Stylosanthes in pastures and cropping systems were investigated at several ILCA research sites in northern Nigeria. While Stylosanthes guianensis cv Cook and cv Schofield responded to phosphorus (P), Stylosanthes hamata cv Verano did so...
