Search for indigenous fertilizer trees, Piggs Peak – Swaziland

During the training given by APAF International, Pascal Humbert has been searching for fertilizer trees in the Piggs Peak region.

He quickly identified the Leuceana.

The Leuceana is a great asset in agroforestry: it fertilizes the soil that nourishes it, its growth rate is exceptional and offers a production of wood and important forage.

Seeds were recovered, as well as soil at the foot of the trees to inoculate the seeds. Indeed, the tree produces bacteria that the seeds will need for ideal growth.
