A Comparison between Russian Comfrey And Lucerne

Abstract

A good deal of interest in Russian comfrey has been shown by Kenya farmers during the last few years, and it was therefore decided to obtain some information regarding the agricultural value of this plant at Kitale, where the altitude is 6,200 ft. and the soil is a free draining medium sandy loam. Lucerne was used as a "yardstick" as it competes with comfrey under these conditions.
