Abstract:
The majority of farmers in Uganda are crop as well as livestock farmers, producing the bulk of crops milk and meat. The major constraint is inadequate feed in quality and quantity as well as lack of knowledge on how to conserve soil. This is because farmers do not use legumes in their crop and livestock enterprises, besides they lack the knowledge on the types of legumes available and their methods of application. Legumes are plants with high protein content and have the ability to fix nitrogen in the soil. In addition, at the peak of the growth stage (flowering stage), they contribute to better forage for livestock and increase crop productivity.
