En China, la investigacion en pasturas tropicales se enfoca principalmente hacia introduccion y evaluacion, agronomia de forrajeras, seleccion y tecnicas de cultivo. Se han seleccionado varias var., las cuales se han recomendado para uso comercial como Stylosanthes guianensis CIAT 184, Brachiaria...
A glasshouse experiment compared the performance of strains of Rhizobium with Leucaena leucocephala in a "cerrado" soil limed to pH 5.5. Liming increased dry matter production, but variation within replicates was so great that increases in nodule dry weight and N2 fixed were not statistically sig...

The effects of different fallow management systems on aggregate stability were studied on an Ultisol and an Alfisol in southern Nigeria. Aggregate stability was measured in natural regrowth, and planted fallows of Pueraria phaseoloides Benth. and Leucaena leucocephala Lam de Wit in a trial establ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of L. leucocephala supplementation on feed intake, water balance and water economy in highland sheep fed teff straw as basal diet. Sixteen young male sheep of uniform weight were assigned in a completely randomized design to the following fe...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate dairy performance and rumen fermentation from a forage-based diet supplemented with Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena) and maize bran. Bos indicus (Ayrshire/Brown Swiss) X Bos taurus (Sahiwal) cattle were offered Pennisetum purpureum (napier grass) ad libit...

Describes construction features of a `live' Leucaena leucocephala fence, developed by ILCA as part of its Small Ruminant Programme in Ibadan, Nigeria, that has been successfully used in restraining the movements of sheep.
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...
