Description
Fodder tree and shrub species from the genera Albizzia, Atriplex, Cassia, Chamaecytisus, Cytisus, Leucaena, Lupinus, Medicago, Sesbania and Teline were evaluated in terms of their adaptation to local conditions and potential production of protein-rich forage and fuelwood. Atriplex nummularia, Cassia sturtii, Chamaecytisus palmensis, Cytisus maderiensis, Leucaena species, Sesbania sesban and Teline stenopetala offer considerable potential, both in terms of yield of protein-rich forage and/or fuelwood.
