Tested by Embrapa, gliricidia and forage cactus were the only two green plants left after a long period of water shortage in 2013. In this video, analyst Samuel Figueiredo, from Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros, shows how to produce gliricidia legume seedlings both through seeds and cuttings. Gliricidia survives drought well and is a good source of protein for animals. Embrapa researched the planting of gliricidia in various forms of integration. The gliricidia legume is very practical. It reproduces through seeds or cuttings. All it takes is a cutting in a hole and a new plant is formed and, in no time, it is full of edible leaves for animals.
