Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1988
The N uptake of maize was assessed on an Alfisol in a sole crop and in an alley cropping system in southwestern Nigeria. Although the application of prunings increased the maize N content in both sole and alley-cropped maize, the N contributed to the maize by the prunings was low, ranging between 4.4 and 23.8 kg ha−1.

The genus Leucaena is a fast growing tropical legume and a member of the family Leguminosae and of the sub-family Mimosoideae. Leucaena is native to Central America. Spaniards took them from Mexico to the Philippines. From there it spread to entire Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea, and later to Hawaii, Australia, India and even to Africa[(10)].

TOXICITY OF LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1978SUMMARY Steers fed a sole diet of Leucaena leucocephala cv. Peru (leucaena), rapidly developed a hypothyroid condition. Total serum thyroxine (T4) levels declined from c 120 n mol litre‐1 to 13 n mol litre‐1 within six weeks of full leucaena feeding. Associated with the hypothyroidism was a decline in feed intake, poor weight gain, hair loss, excessive

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) was intercropped for 3 seasons between hedgerows of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) spaced 3 or 5 m apart on an infertile soil at Mt Cotton, south-eastern Queensland. The leucaena was cut at a height of25 or 50 cm, 2 or 4 times per season and the fresh material spread as a mulch between the rows of kenaf. The yield of kenaf

Leucaena toxicosis and its control in ruminants
Journal of Animal Science, 1995Leucaena (Leucaena spp., especially L. leucocephala) is an arboreal, tropical legume that ranges into the cool subtropics and equatorial elevations up to 1,000 m. One of its uses includes forage for livestock, but introduction of leucaena outside its indigenous range often has led to acute and chronic toxicosis. The major toxic constituents of leucaena

Leucaena leucocephala toxicity in Brazilian horses
ToxiconLeucaena leucocephala poisoning is reported in horses in different Brazilian regions. The poisoning occurred one month after the horses were introduced into paddocks invaded by the plant or after 10 days of consuming cut Leucaena administered as the only food.

Palatability of Leucaena to ruminants
1998The palatability of up to 27 Leucaena accessions was evaluated in four trials in Australia, Philippines and Honduras. In Australia, 21 Leucaena accessions and one accession each of Calliandra calothyrsus, Sesbania sesban and Gliricidia sepium were grazed by cattle.

Food Chemistry
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in plant-based diets, particularly legumes, as a sustainable and healthy dietary choice. This study breaks new ground by investigating the effects of simulated gastrointestinal digestion on green (Leucaena leucocephala) and pigmented (Leucaena esculenta) guaje proteins. We evaluated the antioxidant and

Rhizobium specificity in Leucaena
1999Knowledge of the specificity of Leucaena for strains of rhizobia that form effective N-fixing associations is confined mostly to Leucaena leucocephala. However, recognition of the agroforestry potential of other species has stimulated an assessment of rhizobial requirements of all 22 species in the genus.
