<p><strong>Background</strong>. Availability of quality feed in adequate quantity for animals is a perennial problem. Its search results conflicts between crop farmers and herders. <strong>Objectives. </strong>This research investigated three forage legumes order to determine the most yielding, adaptable important traits that could be used improvement. <strong>Methodology. </strong>The were laid out randomised complete block design across environments. Data collected on growth yield parameters subjected ANOVA, principal component analysis (PCA) stability using additive main effect multiplicative interaction (AMMI). <strong>Results result showed there was significant (<em>p < 0.05</em>) difference among vegetative traits, stress yield, hence, they through breeding. For biomass PC1 PC2 accounted 75.16 24.84% G x E respectively based AMMI. <em>Lablab purpureus</em> stable, adapted rain forest savannah zones, with 28,948.69 kg/ha. PCA revealed first PCs 87% total variation. There positive association traits. <strong>Implication. </strong>Flourishing good indicator yield. <strong>Conclusion. </strong>It recommended extension agents should encourage adoption lablab production feeds ruminants, as it can serve sustainable land use measure considering modern restriction availability grazing solution incessant pastoral crises tropics.</p>
