Notes on Some Browse Plants

Abstract

The cultivation of leguminous fodder plants has very limited application in most parts of the Territory under present-day conditions. Clovers thrive only on the fertile Highland volcanic soils, for example in the Mbulu and Tukuyu districts of Tanganyika, where they are indigenous. For the greater part lucerne can only be established under irrigation on intensively farmed land, while annual crops such as cow peas, velvet beans, groundnuts and sunn hemp are grown for animal fodder only on a very limited scale.
