Pueraria Javanica is a cover crop whether eaten by livestock or not which is very important grown in rubber, oil palm and coconut plantations in Southeast Asia, Africa and Tropical America. In
East Africa, it is grown as a cover crop on sisal plantations (Agave sisalana Perrine). In Southeast Asia, tropical America and Australia this plant is also used as fodder. Its ability to resist
weeds makes this plant a pioneer plant that is often planted and combined with other permanent species. This crop is grown on sloping areas to control soil erosion and alternated with annual
crops as green manure; The root tubers are edible. Its strong stem fibers are used to make rope. In Malesia, this plant is traditionally used to treat boils and ulcers. Strawberry may remain the
most widely grown cover crop throughout the tropics especially in tree plantations. Its main features as pods for animal feed are its rapid early growth on fertile soil and its high palatability.
Improvements especially need to be directed at increasing their resilience in livestock grazing.
