Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena).

2021
Abstract L. leucocephala is a versatile, fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing tree well suited to management in agroforestry systems. It has been, and still is, the most important species of Leucaena, both in terms of indigenous use of pods for food in Mexico and wider use as an exotic for livestock fodder, green manure, small wood products

Compatibility of Leucaena leucocephala biomass and cattle manure combination under rainwater harvesting on sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) productivity in semi-arid region of Zimbabwe

Journal of plant nutrition, 2022
Soil infertility is one of the constraints contributing to poor sorghum production in semi-arid areas across Africa. To increase sorghum production, there is need to address soil fertility issues.

Rainwater harvesting and Leucaena leucocephala biomass rates effects on soil moisture, water use efficiency and Sorghum bicolor [(L.) Moench] productivity in a semi-arid area in Zimbabwe.

The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2022
BACKGROUND Sorghum is one of the major staple crops in Sub Saharan Africa but its production is mainly limited by moisture stress, frequent droughts and soil infertility, especially in the smallholder farming systems.

First record of Cercosporella leucaenae on Leucaena leucocephala in Australia

Australasian Plant Pathology, 1996
Cercosporella leucaenae is reported for the first time from Australia. It defoliated leaflets of cultivated Leucaena leucocephala at Kununurra, Western Australia during April 1995. By late April 1995 C. leucaenae was substantially colonised by the mycoparasite Dicyma pulvinata.

Nitrogen cycling in leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) alley cropping in semi-arid tropics

Plant and Soil, 1993
In an alley cropping system, prunings from the hedgerow legume are expected to supply nitrogen (N) to the associated cereal. However, this may not be sufficient to achieve maximum crop yield. Three field experiments with alley-cropped maize were conducted in a semi-arid environment in northern Australia to determine: (1) the effect of N fertilizer on ...
