Description
The drought which had struck Sudan in the last few years had necessitated the introduction of the livestock within the farming systems of the irrigated schemes. This implies growing of enough forages in these irrigated schemes. Lablab, Lablab purpureus, clitoria, Clitoria ternatea and philipesara, Phaseolus trilobus are the most commonly grown forage legume in the Sudan. Information pertaining to the agronomy of these forages are limited in the Sudan. In this report, two ongoing experiments concerning the agronomy of these legumes are discussed. The main objective of experiment I was to study the interactive effects of seed rates and cutting frequency on the forage production of lablab. In experiment 2, the seasonnal growth and yields oflablad, clitoria and philipesara were studied over a 6 month period.
