Leucaena leucocephala is an important agroforestry species pan-tropically, but relatively little is known of the forage production potential of other species in the genus. The agronomic potential of 116 accessions, represent ing the 28 species and subspecies of the Leucaena genus and several arti...

Canavalia brasiliensis (canavalia), a drought tolerant legume, was introduced into the smallholder traditional crop-livestock production system of the Nicaraguan hillsides as green manure to improve soil fertility or as forage during the dry season for improving milk production. Since nitrogen (N...

A major strategy towards addressing soil fertility depletion is the conservation and sustainable use of rhizobia that are able to fix nitrogen in the soil in association with legumes. The study assessed abundance and diversity of legume nodulating rhizobia (LNB) in soils collected from six differ...

A grazing trial was carried out in the Eastern Plains of Colombia to compare legume selection by transiently grazed oesophageal-fistulated steers and non-fistulated steers permanently grazing pastures. The 6 pasture types investigated were Arachis pintoi-Brachiaria humidicola mixtures which diffe...
