LEUCAENA Usage And Synthesis
Agricultural UsesLeucuenu is a tropical plant which belongs to the family Leguminosae. It is grown widely in Asia, South America, Australia and parts of Africa for its shade and forage.
Leucuena is used as a means for forestation. It gets propagated through seeds or stems and grows very rapidly to a full grown tree. It is tolerant to a wide variety of soils.
This plant is cultivated for its value as a nitrogen supplier. Specific strains of rhizobia fix nitrogen on the root nodules and prove useful to the soil. The plant is also used as a source of green manure. Since it propagates fast, it can be grown on hilly slopes and other relatively poor soils, where it helps reduce soil erosion.
Leucaena can give yields up to 20 tons of dry matter per hectare. It is fed to cattle to increase their weight, especially in their young age. Some people are known to eat flowers and leaves of this plant.
