Four accessions of the multi-purpose fodder tree, tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) and one of Montpellier broom (Teline monspessulana) were evaluated for dry matter yield, response to P fertiliser and nutritive value for livestock feeding, at 2 contrasting sites in the highlands of Ethiopia, o...


Berhe, KahsayTothill, J.C.[Dry matter yield, P response and nutritive value of selected accessions of chamaecytisus palmensis (tagasaste) and Teline monspssulana (Montpellier broom) in the Ethiopian highlands]Dry matter yield, P response and nutritive value of selected accessions of chamaecytisus palmensis (tagasaste) and Teline monspssulana (Montpellier broom) in the Ethiopian highlands

Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were screened on Vertisols at PH 6.8 and acid clay soils (Nitosols) with and without application of phosphours (60 kg P/ha). Both species were generally well adapted to the Vertisols and grew to an overall mean height of 249 cm 14 months after transplanti...

Eleven accessions taken from Leucaena leucocephala, L. revolutal, L. pallida, L. diversifolia and L. leucocephala × L. diversifolia hybrids (leucaena), together with 3 accessions of Calliandra calothyrsus (calliandra), were evaluated on an acidic, nitosol soil in the tropical highland region of S...

The genus Leucaena is one of the most important sources of multipurpose trees and shrubs for use in farming systems in the African tropics and subtropics. In previous studies, Kashsay and Tothill (1995) identified the superior performance of Leucaena pallida and L. diversifolia as highly producti...

Examines the role of forages and ILCA's strategy to improve productivity of forage resources for improving the stability and sustainability of African farming systems. Discusses constraints on African Farming Systems, Organization of research and integration of forages in two farming systems. Out...

Eleven Sesbania sesban and three S. goetzei accessions were evaluated for dry matter (DM) yield in response to phosphorus (P) application and fodder quality on an acidic Nitosol at Soddo, in the Ethiopian highlands. The soil at this site is known to be P deficient and to have high ability to fix ...
