Se presentan aspectos sobre el mejoramiento de Stylosanthes capitata, S. guianensis, Centrosema pubescens, Leucaena leucocephala, Andropogon gayanus, Panicum maximum y Brachiaria spp. (Herbage Abstracts-CIAT)
The influence of four pruning frequencies on biomass, nodulation and N2 fixation was investigated on Albizia lebbeck, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala grown in the screenhouse for 16 months, using acetylene reduction and 15N dilution methods. Frequent prunings at 4-month intervals had ...

The restorative ability of herbaceous (Psophocarpus palustris, Pueraria phaseoloides) and woody (Leucaena leucocephala, Senna siamea, Acacia leptocarpa, Acacia auriculiformis) legume species and of natural regrowth was studied on an eroded and compacted Oxic Paleustalf in southwestern Nigeria. Co...

Presents a description & an assessement of 16 village alley farms, incorporating two browse legumes, namely Leucaena leucocephala & Gliricidia sepium, in four-metre alternate rows with staple food crops, within the Fashola and Badeku/Ikire areas in southwest Nigeria.
The incorporation of livestock into alley farming systems, in which food or forage crops are grown between hedges of multipurpose trees that are regularly pruned for mulch and/or forage, has been studied for over 10 years in Africa. Prunings from leguminous trees such as Leucaena and gliricidia c...
Fodder tree legumes are valuable sources of high quality feed in the dry season when pasture productivity can be low and of poor quality. To ensure sustained fodder availability from Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit and Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp in the dry season (November-February) the b...

A litter bag technique was used to study the decomposition and release of N, P, K, Ca and Mg from Leucaena leucocephala and L. pallida prunings and cattle manure in a hedgerow intercropping trial conducted in the Ethiopian highlands. Hedgerow inter-cropping (also called alley cropping or alley fa...

The N.P.K. Ca and Mg release patterns of the leaves of four accessions of Sesbania species and two accessions of Leucaena species were evaluated in a 5-week laboratory incubation. Leaves of these leguminous trees, applied at an equivalent rate of 3 t dm ha-1, were significant sources of N, K and ...

A breeding program to select low-mimosine lines of leucaena has been in progress since 1970. Selections were evaluated in two field trials at Lansdown. Although the low-mimosine selections did indeed have lower mimosine than the control cultivars, their dry matter yield was also inferior (about t...
