| Eastern Africa Plant Genetic Resources Network | ASARECA | ASARECA_EAPGREN.pdf | As part of measures to address the challenge of climate change on worldÔÇÖs food production and agriculture, scientists recommend to search for genes in wild and traditional varieties of common food crops that could help plants to adapt to variable weather conditions, resist pest and disease, tolerate drought and produce sustainable yield. For this to happen, crop diversity must be properly conserved and easily accessed.. |

| Establishment, management and use of Calliandra calothyrusus (Calliandra) | ASARECA | calliandra_edited(1).pdf | Calliandra is a multipurpose tree species grown primarily for forage as a supplement to low quality roughages for ruminant livestock. It a source of green manure; provides shade for coffee and tea, stakes for climbing beans, is a source of wood fuel for cooking; controls soil erosion, and is a source of pollen for honey production.Calliandra leaf hay is a potential source of income as the demand for hay is now very high. Leaf hay is used to make nutrient feed blocks in addition to other locally available materials such as molasses, maize bran, cotton seed cake, farm waste and crop residues |
