Dear Rashida Ji, I totally agree with you. I have as I stated a few thousand trees of Gliricidia. I have seen other seeds sprouting and growing well but am yet to see gliricidia multiplying rapidly. The soil at my place is so full of mulch that any seed sprout easily. One reason could be that the sprouted plant gets destroyed by some pest. I have seen gliricidia cuttings that are well established being attacked by white stem borers resulting in death. We have been using it as standards for supporting pepper vines very successfully. These are most useful for creating green manure, the leaves decay fast and nourishes the earth. It being a forest legume also fixes nitrogen into the soil. Regards Yazdy Palia.
