description Reviews a variety of research trials ranging from the improvement of germplasm materials to the development of fodder production systems, and concludes with a recommendation for more research and development attention on the integration of fodder trees within the existing farming systems. Includes data on mulch DM yields of Gliricidia at different planting densities & flowering and seed production, dry matter yields & nitrogen content of leucaena, maize and cowpea yields in alley cropping trials.
