As pasture lands have degraded, Cassia tora has spread throughout their fields out competing other plants. However, this noxious plant has potential as dry season forage when ensiled. The authors describe their analysis of the forage potential and their work with village women to develop ensilage techniques adapted to local conditions.text/plainen-USForageSemiarid zonesExperiential learningWomenGrazingPasture managementPest managementInvasive speciesAdoption of innovationsCassia toraDry seasonEnsilageFarm/Enterprise Scale Field ScaleAbstract
