| Abstract: | The tree legume Tipuana tipu, which has potential as a browse species in sub-tropical regions, was subjected to three cutting frequency regimes of 6, 8 and 12 week intervals at a cutting height of 1 m. Cutting at 12 week intervals gave a total leaf yield of 4.02 t/ha/year which was significantly higher than the other two treatments. There was 100% survival of all plants in all treatments over 2 years and the implications of the results for the management of Tipuana tipu in a hedgerow system for folder production are discussed. |
