The aim of the research reported here was to compare the early growth and nodulation of Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium, grown in pots containing soils of differing fertility obtained from alley farms. The plants' response to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers and to inoculation with...

A study was conducted in the Central Plateau region of Rwanda to assess the productivity ofSesbania sesban and three Leucaena species in hedgerow intercropping systems. S. sesban grew and accumulated biomass most rapidly in the first 10 months of growth. During the following 6 months the fastest ...

The early growth and symbiotic properties ofthree woody legumes, Cassia siamea, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala, were monitored on a farmer's field and in the screenhouse using the same soil. L. leucocephala and G.. septum nodulated freely and were heavily infected by native vesicular...

Twenty five rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz sheep were used in a completely randomized block design to determine roughage utilization when different types of supplements (sesbania, leucaena, cotton seed cake (CSC) and forms (fresh or dry leucaena) were fed. The chemical composition, intake, diges...
