Planting Glyricidia and Moringa cuttings in Pre-monsoon

I have been trying to grow glyricidea since it is leguminous and provide lots of mulch. Moringa also has been in the list, since it is leguminous, provode pods,leaves and cut branches are good mulch too. When I tried this lots of them won't survive, later read from Roland Bunch's one paper that in heavy rain, these cuttings rot fast and does not take roots. Also survival rate is better with cuttings from thick branches. So this time, planting lots and lots of glyricidea and moringa cuttings.

Stylosanthes Hamata and Rice - Experiment continues

Last year in one patch I had done Stylo and after growing them for some time, sow some rice seeds and cut Stylo, and rice established reasonably nicely. Stylo didn't grow back well, so it was good for rice. Wanted to experiment the same thing, this time in the same patch. Few Stylo plants were seen after summer rain, retained them and few weeds were removed by hand. Once stylo is established, would like to sow rice in the same patch.

Stylo Santhes Hamata some features

I have been trying Stylo santhes Hamata as a covercrop, it is not yet established, but saw some interesting features so thought of recording it. 

The above two pictures are Stylo recovering from summer on receiving summer rains. In peak summer, temperature here touches 40-42 degree, and all plants are effected since I do completely rainfed farming. These plants were not visible at all, but with first rain, they just came back. So it looks like they are drought tolerant, this is too early to conclude, but still.

In this patch, I had few stylo plants and at the peak summer, I had cut them since I had to work the bunds of these small fields so that water is retained. This is for growing rice samples, just to keep their seeds. At the first rain, I could see many small seedlings coming up, first I couldn't recognize them, later understood, they were stylo plants. Even they were growing bit outside where the plants were standing, they had flowers and seeds, but didn't realize, they had this much.
