POTENTIAL PRODUCTIVITY OF LAMTORO ACCESSIONS AS FORAGES
Abstrak
Lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala L.) is a fibrous plant for animal feed with young leaves and stems as
edible portions. Every region has their own morphological diversity and potential productivity. The aim of this
study was to determine the potential of lamtoro accessions as a forage based on morphological performance
and weight of edible portion. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with three levels
of lamtoro accessions (NTT, Yogyakarta, Serpong) and eight replications. The results showed that lamtoro
accessions significantly affected for plant height, wet weight and dry weight of edible portion. Based on the
performance of plant morphology it showed that the accession of Serpong can be used as forage for feeding
with human assistance, while accessions for NTT and Yogyakarta potential to be forages for grazing.
