Gliricidia maculata - a review
Gliricidia maculata (syn Gliricidia sepium) is a source of fodder, fuelwood and green manure, in hedges and living fences, and as a shade tree in tea, coffee, and cocoa plantations. It grows in lowland areas of the tropics having mean annual temperatures of 22-30°C, and rainfall of 800-1700 mm, and is much easier to establish than leucaena. The foliage has a crude protein content of 20-30 percent, and recent research reviewed in this paper confirms the value of gliricidia as a feed supplement for sheep and cattle
