Soil erosion and the productivity of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cropping systems, including forage legume intercropping, were monitored under natural rainfall conditions on Inceptisols in southwest Colombia. Trials were conducted over two cropping periods on moderate slopes. The best eros...

Objectives of this study were to compare costs and expected benefits of feed supplementation in cattle with alternative shrub legumes during the dry season using as a case study the hillsides of Central Nicaragua. The information used was gathered in a survey of 32 farms in the states of Boaco a...

The dry matter yield, nutritive value and persistence of three legume species (Stylosanthes hamata Taub., S. capitata Vog. and Centrosema pascuorum Mart. ex. Benth.) cut at different frequencies during the growing season or only once at the end of the growing season were compared. The shorter cut...

Presents results of a study conducted at Debre Zeit, Ethiopia, to examine the differences in mineral composition, root N contents and their rates of transformation in the soil of different species of four genera of forage legumes, viz, Trifolium, Lablab, Medicago and Vicia. Also examines the effe...

Alfalfa or lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage legume grown extensively in the world. There have been relatively few investigations on the adaptation of alfalfa to soils found in suitable eco-zones in Africa. In the present investigations, twenty accessions were evaluated for tole...

Land-use intensification in the East-African highland zone is required for meeting food and feed demands from the rising human and animal populations. A single crop of wheat has been a traditional practice for the 8 Mha of Vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands with both grain and residues finding ...

Sesbania have multifarious utilization, and in many instances growth rate is one of the most important criteria for the selection of suitable Sesbania. This paper reports results of a study on the growth rates of Sesbania on two acid soils both low in available P, but one with toxic levels of Al....

One of the factors that constrains animal draft power in livestock-rich countries like Ethiopia is the inadequate supply of livestock feed both in quantitative and qualitative terms. This problem in Ethiopia is aggravated by poor soil conditions across the highland areas. Inter-cropping of forage...
