Leucaena leucocephala IN RUMINANT NUTRITION [PDF]

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2014
<p>It is a common situation in extensive ruminant production systems in tropical countries to have low production indicators due to nutrient deficiencies in the diet. An economic alternative to increase animal production is the incorporation of legumes (fodder and fruits) in the diet. This review, presents an analysis of the positive and negative

Seed germination ecology of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) as influenced by various environmental parameters

Weed Science, 2022
AbstractLeucaena [Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit] is a perennial weed in more than 25 countries, including Australia. Knowledge regarding the seed biology of L. leucocephala could help in making weed management decisions. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of hot water (scarification), alternating temperatures, heat stress, salt stress,

Different Treatments for Breaking Dormancy of Leucaena Seeds (Leucaena leucocephala)

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2017
The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of methods for breaking dormancy the seeds of tropical forage legume Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.). The seed treatments were: (T1) water at 100 ºC/10 min; (T2) water at 100 ºC/1 min; (T3) Acetone (10 min); (T4) Ethyl alcohol (10 minutes); and (T5) intact seeds (control). Data were analyzed using a

Integration of Biochar and Rainwater Harvesting to Improve Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in Semi‐Arid Regions of Zimbabwe

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Crop production has been declining in semi‐arid areas over the past two decades due to several biophysical constraints, including soil infertility and water stress induced by low rainfall. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of biochar and rainwater harvesting techniques on soil moisture content, bulk ...

Leaf‐Branch Coordination of Dehydration Resistance and Tree Invasion Success in Dry Ridge Forests of Subtropical Pacific Islands, Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Across tree species, coordinated structural and functional traits link leaves and branch wood. Native species have denser leaf and wood tissues and higher dehydration‐resistant branches, whereas invasive species have less dense leaf and wood tissues and lower dehydration resistance.

Isoptopic evidence of the transfer of nitrogen fixed by legumes to coffee trees [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2000
The use of isotopic methods has made it possible to quantify the contribution of nitrogen fixed by a coffee plantation. Thanks to the use of the natural 15N abundance assessment technique, we were able to show that, in field condition, roughly 30/ of the
