Multilevel data structures can occur in many areas of agricultural research for instance on-farm trials, where there can be information at the village, farm and plot or animal level. Analysis of variance except in balanced or nested designs - has been difficult to apply to data with a multilevel ...

Peri-urban dairy producers in West Africa face major production constraints including inadequate and poor quality feeds. In view of the high cost of traditional supplementary feeds such as oilseed cakes, the production of forage, especially legumes, is increasingly being advocated. However, it ha...

Parkia is a pantropical genus of about 30-40 tree legume species of considerable evolutionary, taxonomic, biological and economic improtance in Africa, Asia and South America. It has several uses, including fodder, food, medicine, green manure, fuel and timber. This paper reviews the scattered li...

Highlights the interactions between agronomy and economics in developing forage production techniques for the two main land-use situations in the subhumid zone of Nigeria, viz, cultivation and fallow. Presents break-even sorghum grain-stylo price ratios for different undersowing times, capital an...

Reviews macro-data on production and utilization of major agro-industrial byproducts in sub-Saharan Africa with, particularly attention on those involved in international trade; viz, molasses, groundnut cake, cottonseed cake, sunflower seed cake, palm kernel cake and fishmeal. Evaluates their fee...

The forage, wood and seed production of six Sesbania sesban accessions was assessed under irrigated conditions for two cutting frequencies and heights. Control trees were left uncut to measure their seed production potential. The trial was conducted over an 18-month period. The fastest growing ac...

Harvests were made at the end of the main (April-August) and minor (September-November) wet, and dry (December-March) seasons for two years. Dry season edible forage samples were analyzed for concentrations of crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (NDF), acid det...
