A programme of forage legumes evaluation was developed at ILCA subhumid research site in Nigeria from 1985 onwards. Evaluation included monitoring herbage and seed yields, incidence of diseases/pests, regeneration ability and persistence for three growing seasons. This was followed by an in six b...

The potential of 3-year-old grazed pastures of Stylosanthes hamata, Chamaecrista rotundifolia and Centrosema pascuorum to contribute to subsequent maize production was investigated in subhumid Nigeria in 1993. All three legume pastures had the ability to give better maize grain yields than native...

Phosphorus (P) is required to improve soil fertility for food and feed produciton in sub-Saharan Africa, but the high cost of conventional, water-soluble P fertilizers limits their use by resource-poor farmers. Rockphosphates are a low-cost alternative. The effectiveness, in terms of seed product...

Trials have been conducted at two sites in the subhumid zone of Nigeria to investigate the influence of weed control on seed quantity and quality using three tropical forage legumes, Centrosema pascuorum cv Cavalcade, Chamaecrista rotundifolia cv Wynn and Stylosanthes hamata cv Verano. Manaual we...

Acacia angustissima is a tropical legume, which has potential as a fodder tree, but contains secondary compounds which have an anti-nutritional effect in ruminants. This study was designed to indicate whether condensed tannins alone are responsible for the anti-nutritional affect or whether non-p...

This review paper discusses the relevance and potential importance of food-feed systems in Asian agricultural systems, and in particular the role and contribution of legumes to these systems. A food-feed system is one that maintains, if not increases, the yield of food crops, sustains soil fertil...

In order to contribute to improved utilisation of herbaceous legumes, in particular Centrosema macrocarpum and Stylosanthes guianensis for crop-livestock systems, the present study explored a number of management options to improve the effect of legumes on subsequent maize yield. The objectives o...

Two germplasm collections of Lablab purpureus L. Sweet totalling 249 accessions were grown in the field in Australia and Ethiopia and characterised using a common set of morphological and agronomic (M-A) attributes. Data from each site were analysed separately using multi-variate analysis and a c...
