The use of participatory research methods in evaluating tree legumes has received little attention among researchers because of the widely-held assumption that data generated in this way are qualitative and not amenable to statistical testing. Using a participatory tool called a bao game, 112...

Although only Leucaena leucocephala is widely used, most members of the Leucaena genus have potential as multipurpose species for tropical agroforestry systems. To investigate the wood and biomass production potential of the Leucaena genus, 116 accessions covering the 22 species were evaluated over ...

An important criterium in selecting species for alley cropping is the mineralization pattern of their prunings. This study determined effects of 5 years of hedgerow pruning applications on soil organic C and total N at three locations in Haiti and mineralization patterns from soil amended with the...

Eucalyptus argophloia, Acacia stenophylla, Albizia lebbeck and Leucaena diversifolia were planted in January 1989 on a 5-m grid on old green panic (Panicum maximum var. trichoglume) pasture. Pasture yield was measured annually in 1990-97, and tree growth measured in 1993 and 1997. Despite generally ...

In a forthcoming revision, the genus Leucaena is found to comprise 22 species of small or medium-sized trees, cultivated as fast-growing trees for tropical reforestation. There has been little difficulty in interpreting this genus and it is accepted in all modern Floras in its native territory and...

In order to identify for alley cropping new candidate species with high biomass and nitrogen fixing potential, a pot screening study was conducted on 10 woody and shrub legumes (Acacia auriculiformis, Albizia lebbeck, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena diversifolia, L. leucocephala cv. K28 and cv. K636, ...

A preliminary evaluation is reported of biomass production (for fodder) by 23 accessions (12 species) at a field trial in São Paulo. Best dry matter yields (after 2 cuttings) and fastest growth were obtained with Sesbania sesban var. sesban. The other species/varieties tested were Cajanus cajan,...
