Rhythmic up down movements of the lateral leaflets in the plant Desmodium gyrans (L.F.) DC. have been studied. Leaflet movements were recorded with a video-computer system, where the digital video signals from the CCD camera were processed in an ATARI 1040 ST computer using special software. The average period of the lateral leaflet movements at 24C was estimated to be 3.5 min. It is proposed, ...

Rhizobia inoculation is widely used in legumes to improve the yield and quality of forage. However, symbiotic interactions different are specific. The search for efficient strains plays an important role legume forage practical production. In this study, Desmodium intortum was first inoculated with rhizobia from regions, then production traits, nutritional quality, fermentation D. rumen were ev...

Plant leaf parameters such as stomatal index, stomata type, microscopic features, and powder microscopy are important taxonomic used to properly identify species differentiate one from another these is a vital keys in the pharmacognostic study of medicinal plants because play role distinguishing crude drugs even when they fragmented or powdered. Also, extractive retention factor, ash value, phy...

The exploitation of diverse cropping practices alongside residue incorporation has remained low among small-holder rural farming households in Sub-Saharan Africa. Three-stratum forage system (TSFS) which integrates forages for animal feeds with food crops is a significant sustainable strategy enhancing incorporation. This study was conducted Busia County Kenya to; (i) determine the effects TSFS...

Integrating farmyard manure (FYM) and legume intercropping improves soil chemical microbial properties, thereby increasing forage productivity nutritional value. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how fertilizer treatments affected the composition, in vitro gas production organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), volatile fatty acid (VFA) Napier desho grasses upper Blue Nile basin Ethiopia. ...
