Abstract:

Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) is most preferred by development workers for agroforestry in the mid-altitude (600–1600 m) agro-ecological zone of North-West Cameroon because its seeds are common and inexpensive. This study was prompted by farmers' reluctance to accept leucaena for agroforestry because its early growth is poor on acid infertile soils prevalent in the area. Leucaena was planted using four-month-old potted plants and, from four months after planting, the shrub was cut five times in 20 months at 120 day intervals.

Response in Leucaena seedlings to the seeds imbibition of pseudostems plantain leached Resumen La L. leucocephala es una leguminosa forrajera arbórea utilizada para la alimentación de rumiantes; sin embargo, su lento crecimiento inicial tiende a limitar su supervivencia durante su establecimiento. Por tal razón, se planteó evaluar la respuesta en plántulas a la previa imbibición de las semillas con lixiviado de pseudotallo de plátano a concentraciones de 0, 10, 25, 50, 75 y 100%, durante 12 horas y posterior siembra en bandejas con sustrato inerte, bajo condiciones de sombra parcia

Abstract:

SUMMARYFarmer-managed trials with browse trees were undertaken at two locations in southeast Nigeria. The fast-growing tree species Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium were either inter-planted with crops as alley farms or planted in pure stands as intensive feed gardens. At both locations, most of the trees established successfully under farmer management. However, the quality of establishment was uneven, and the rate of utilization generally poor, especially at one site. The limited success of the trials is traced to a number of related sociological, institutional and edaphic factors

Abstract:

Anticipated Performance Index (API) is an innovative ecological approach in selecting plant species for reducing air pollution, using Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) and socio-economic parameters. The present study evaluated API of 11 plant species (6 trees and 5 shrubs) for the recommendation of green belt establishment near the national highway expansion region of the Kiratpur-Nerchowk expressway. The scrutiny of the results revealed that the tolerance capacity of plant species along with their performance grade is a justified approach for selecting the most suitable plant species, whic

Abstract We compared the C storage of two nitrogen-fixing trees in mixed and monospecific plantations to investigate the C sequestration potential after 10 years of their establishment. The study was carried out in three types of plantation, Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. ex DC. pure (P1DS), Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit pure (P2LL) and mixed plantation of D. sissoo and L. leucocephala (P3DS.LL). The results of the study indicated that, P3DS.LL sequestered 34.30 ± 0.24 t yr-1 ha-1 CO2 compared to 27.35 ± 0.19 t yr-1 ha-1 in P1DS and 19.81 ± 0.44 t yr-1 ha-1 in P2LL.

Sandalwood (Santalum album) is an obligatory parasite plant that needs an adequate host to survive. Primary in-pot hosts, intermediate hosts, and long-term (secondary) hosts are the three stages of parasitism which have so far been recognized. The success of the establishment and survival of sandalwood plants in the field depends entirely on the other woody plants that could serve as hosts. Through root associations known as haustoria, which are vascular connections between the roots of sandalwood and its host plant, sandalwood obtains certain supplements from its host plant.

This study examines the spatio-temporal dynamics of Acacia auriculiformis in Lubumbashi city, southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, in the context of rapid urbanization following the liberalization of the mining sector. The city has experienced significant demographic growth and unplanned spatial expansion, resulting in a decrease in vegetation cover. The introduction and proliferation of A. auriculiformis, an exotic tree species, have occurred without strategic planning or monitoring. Utilizing digitized remote sensing imagery from 2006, 2014, and 2021, we quantified the expansion of A.

Recently, Gayo coffee has been the main commodity for the plant cultivation of the Gayo tribe, including the Mude Nosar as local farmers. One of the ways to cultivate Gayo coffee is through an agroforestry system. However, limited reports on the tree species composition and its management in Gayo coffee-based agroforestry needs to be explored. This study aims i) to identify the tree species composition and structure, as well as 2) to analyze the management of Gayo coff
