Résumé : The psyllid bas affected New Caledonia with significant feed shortage linked with the Leucaena leucocephala decreasing. This fodder tree was the most valuable component to beef and deer producers during the dry season, offering high feeding value during this difficult period. Among intended solutions to overcome its loss in the most degraded areas, research has been carried out on other promising tree species such as Acacia ampliceps, Calliandra calothyrsus and Gliricidia sepium. Experiments were conducted about varieties, provenances and establishment techniques (plastic nursery bags, stumps, direct sowing, inoculants). Also trials about various management techniques and animal uses have been established. Investigations were also carried out about landscape management with fodder trees in an integrated development on a deer breeding farm seriously damaged by soil erosion.
