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...

Screening of two Sesbania species for fodder potential and response to phosphorus application on an acid soil in Ethiopia
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 ...

Response of different sesbania accessions to phosphorus application and fodder quality of S. sesban under acid soil conditions
The International Livestock Centre for Africa has a genetic base of 300 accessions from 20 species of Sesbania. The largest number of these are represented by the perennials S. sesban (207), S. goetzii (18), and S. keniensis (8) and the short-lived perennial S. macrantha (97). Almost all of this ...
