Calliandra calothyrsus Calliandra forage is usually cut by hand to a height of about 1 m and fed to tethered or stabled animals. Calliandra grows on all soil types and is well adapted to acid soils of poor fertility, but can respond to fertilizer application on such soils. Calliandra does not take well from stakes and is therefore generally sown directly in the field or in the nursery. www.fao.org /ag/AGP/AGPC/doc/Gbase/data/pf000470.htm   (1397 words)

Calliandra calothyrsus Calliandra is unusually promising as a firewood source because of its excellent coppicing ability and very quick growth. Calliandra proved so successful as a plantation crop that in 1950 the Indonesian State Forest Enterprise (Perum Perhutani) began planting it on a large scale, so that by early 1979 about 30,000 ha in Central, East, and West Java were under cultivation. A hectare of Calliandra is estimated to Yield 1 MT honey (NAS, 1983b). www.hort.purdue.edu /newcrop/duke_energy/Calliandra_calothyrsus.html   (0 words)

Factsheet - Calliandra calothyrsus Calliandra is generally recommended for cut-and-carry feeding rather than for use in direct grazing systems. Despite this, reasonable animal production is achieved where calliandra has been adopted as a supplement to poor quality basal diets or as a partial replacement of concentrate feeds. Freshly harvested leaves of calliandra are generally highly palatable to ruminants where animals have prior experience with the forage, although some problems with palatability have been reported from Mexico and Central America. www.tropicalforages.info /key/Forages/Media/Html/Calliandra_calothyrsus.htm   (1817 words)

Kenyan farmer treasures the calliandra tree / Radio Scripts / DCFRN Calliandra can be used as fodder for livestock, for soil improvement, for seed production and bee forage, as fuelwood, and as stakes for climbing beans and tomatoes. Calliandra occurs naturally in some parts of the tropics at altitudes ranging from sea level to 1900 m and where the average annual rainfall is above 1000 mm.

Last check: ) IngentaConnect Alley cropping of maize with calliandra and leucaena in the subhu... An approach to integrating calliandra (Calliandra calothyrsus Meissner) and leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit), two promising agroforestry tree species, into maize (Zea mays L.) production system was investigated in the subhumid highlands of central Kenya during four maize-growing seasons from 1994 to 1996. Yields of calliandra alley- cropped maize were 11% to 51% lower than those of nonalley-cropped treatments receiving calliandra prunings from ex situ grown trees; the decrease was 2% to 17% with leucaena, indicating that calliandra hedges were more competitive than leucaena hedges. www.ingentaconnect.com /content/klu/agfo/1999/00000046/00000001/00207946   (346 words)

The effect of supplementing urea treated maize stover with Tithonia, Calliandra and Sesbania to growing goats Calliandra and Sesbania have been used to supplement maize stover and teff straw respectively with significant increases in weight gains (Kaitho 1997; Nherera et al 1998). Tithonia (leaves and tender shoots), Calliandra and Sesbania (leaves) were collected from already established pure stands planted in rows to demarcate strips of land at the Bukura Energy Centre adjacent to the college. These results are in agreement with Nherera et al (1998) where Calliandra despite having high levels of both soluble and insoluble proanthocyanidins, and low intake of maize stover and low N intake, recorded the fastest growth rates (42g/day) compared to the three accessions of Leucaena, i.e. www.cipav.org.co /lrrd/lrrd18/5/abdu18064.htm   (3620 words)

Calliandra (often simply called "calliandra") is a small agroforestry tree native to Central America and Mexico that is cultivated widely in the humid tropics. While the predominant use of calliandra is the production of fodder for ruminant livestock, other uses are also found within different farming systems and include the provision of green manure, fuelwood, shade for coffee and tea, land rehabilitation, erosion control, and honey production. The species grows well on acidic soils where other agroforestry trees perform poorly, and it is primarily used outside its native range in areas where high population densities place pressure on limited land resources, and where agroforestry systems are being developed to maintain and sustain agricultural production. www.cfa-international.org /EU/Calliandra.htm   (215 words)

CGIAR: Research & Impact: Areas of Research: Forestry 1) Through on-station and on-farm participatory research in the central Kenyan highlands, World Agroforestry researchers and their national partners in 1996 identified Calliandra calothyrsus, a leguminous fodder tree, as a species that can be grown on farms and used as a substitute for expensive commercial dairy meal. Using calliandra as a protein substitute can increase a farmer's annual income by more than USD 150 per cow per year. With an estimated 400 000 smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya who have one or two cows each, the potential benefits from adopting calliandra amount to about USD 102 million a year in the Kenya smallholder dairy sector alone. www.cgiar.org /impact/research/forestry.html   (1161 words)

Calliandra sp Serro do cipo Past experience has shown that woody plants from this sort of environment which are exposed to drought and fire are extremely resiliant and can regenerate from the base to grow anew. Such was the case for Mexican Calliandra grandiflora.
