On a Ferralic-haplic Acrisol (terre de barre non degradee) in Southern Benin Republic, four years after the establishment of the hedgerows, yields of maize and cassava alley cropped with Leucaena leucocephala and Cajanus cajan were no better than those in control plots without hedgerows. Reduced ...

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...
