Forage seed production in the Sudano-sahelian zone of Cameroon

Abstract

Seed production costs of seven forage legumes were evaluated in the Sudano-Sahelian region of Cameroon. They were under 1000 FCFA/kg for Calopogonium mucunoides, Cajanus cajan, Desmodium distortum, Mucuna pruriens and Stylosanthes hamata. Production costs of 1890 and 3025 FCFA/kg for Centrosema pascuorum and Macroptilium lathyroides, respectively, did not appear attractive for the study area.
