Potential and limitations of natural repellents against early destructive browsing by livestock and game

Potential and limitations of natural repellents against early destructive browsing by livestock... Agroforestry Systems 16:33--40, 1991. © 1991 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Potential and limitations of natural repellents against early destructive browsing by livestock and game P. G. VON CARLOWITZ and G. V. WOLF International Council for Research in Agroforest~y (ICRAF), Nairobi, Kenya Key words: natural repellents, destructive browsing, goats, Leucaena leucocephala, Solanurn campylacanthum, clipped sheep wool, Kapok tree fibre Abstract: In a series of pre-screening trials and experiments five different inexpensive and readily available materials were tested for their capability to effectively prevent or reduce destructive browsing by livestock and game on woody perennials in their early stage after planting. These materials were fluffed-up sheep wool, sisal fibres, fibres from pods of the Kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra), extracts from the fruits of Solanum campylacanthum and the latex of Euphorbia tirucalli. In all trials and experiments Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Witt was used as the test plant. In a first trial, concentrated Solanum fruit extract damaged terminal buds and mature leaves of L. leucocephala, After diluting the extract with water (2 parts extract: 1 part water) no further damaging effect on leaves and buds was observed. All treated parts of the test plant proved tolerant to latex of http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Agroforestry Systems Springer Journals
