Tarawali, S.A. (International Livestock Centre for Africa, Kaduna (Nigeria))
This paper describes the initial steps taken in the evaluation of 23 promising forage legume accessions (eight species), selected from a single row evaluation trial and assessed by monitoring agronomic traits for two seasons in a replicated trial at one site in central Nigeria. Centrosema pascuorum Mart. ex Benth., C. brasilianum (L.) Benth. and Cassia rotundifolia Pers. accessions performed best and are recommended for further testing and seed multiplication. Details of the evaluation technique and performance of the accessions are discussed in relation to potential benefits to livestock and crop production within the zone.
