Despite the widespread use of Leucaena leucocephala in alley cropping systems, little information is available on the effect of different magagement practices on its nitrogen fixation. We studied the effects of three successive cuttings at 12 week intervals on nodulation and nitrogen fixation of ...

Alley cropping with Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, caused a shift in weed flora away from fast-growing annual weeds that are characteristic of frequently cultivated fields to shade-tolerant, less-competitive weeds. Alley cropping caused a greater decline in weed density over lime than was o...

Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of phosphorus application and Rhizobium inoculation on the growth and nitrogen fixation of three tree legume species on a highland vertisol. The first experiment involved Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei, the second Leucaena panicu...

An experiment was carried out over 2 years period to investigate effect of levels of browse supplementary offered to West African Dwarf (Djallonke) sheep on productivity. The results of this on-station trail showed that overall lambing interval was 239 days (ranging from 262 days to 226 days).Bir...

Results of two completed and one continuing feeding/growth trials are discussed. When fed Panicum maximum plus concentrates ad lib, West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks attain a growth rate of 60 gd-1 at a DDMI of 53.3g kg0.75d-1 , which is estimated to be approximately 1.8 times the DDMI needed for ma...

Patterns of early root and shoot growth and nodulation, and the effects of increasing frequency of pruning on leaf dry-matter yield, root dry weight and nodulation of Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium were studied in two pot experiments. In G. sepium the emphasis during early growth was...
