| description | <p><em>Calliandra calothyrsus</em> Meisn. is a small, neotropical tree that in recent years has been the focus of substantial research and cultivation. While the predominant use of <em>C. calothyrsus</em> is increasingly the production of fodder for ruminant livestock, other uses are also found within different farming systems and include the provision of green manure, fuelwood, shade (traditionally for coffee, but also for tea), land rehabilitation, erosion control, and honey production. The species has particular relevance in the humid tropics and on acidic soils where other agroforestry trees perform poorly. It is primarily used outside its native range, in areas where high population density places pressure on limited land resources, and where agroforestry systems are being developed to maintain and sustain agricultural production...</p> |
